Riassunto

“a masterful book by a master storyteller. To think that Elizabeth Ellis' voice could be even more powerful in print than in performance is unimaginable, but here she is in this inspiring and insightful book. She teaches us with humor and generosity, asking that we dig deeper – layer after layer - until we come to love and understand the characters we've created. Our stories are stronger for her guidance and so are we.”

--Jane Stenson, Storyteller, author and educator, Evanston, Illinois

This long-awaited book will be required reading for my students. I look forward to using it with them.Plot is a word everyone has heard but few can explain. It is so much more than a beginning, a middle, and an end in a story as textbooks often define it. Elizabeth Ellis, a master storyteller and teacher, knows better than anyone how to describe the elements of plot and demonstrate how they can be crafted into meaningful stories.
