Background

About Robert Godwin

From the beginning, stories have been the key to our consumption of information, education and entertainment. Picture our ancestors in front of a cave, spellbound by the shaman telling a story. Jump ahead to the invention of writing, books, and the printing press so stories could be shared with a wider audience. And in the last one hundred years, stories appear simultaneously across the world on screens large and small.
