Reviews

'Wilson's book provides a clear depiction of the situation of storytelling and theater in the present precarious day and why storytellers must become even more artful than ever before if they are somehow to capture and maintain the truth content of storytelling, even as professionals.' - Jack Zipes, from the Foreword 'I know of no other book which gives such a comprehensive description of the growth of storytelling as a cultural force in the latter part of the twentieth-century. The book shows the richness of that world and the possibilities that exist within it.' - Tom Pow, University of Glasgow, UK
