Editor's Notes
- A good story lies at the heart of humanity great adventure. Joseph Campbell, a Cultural Mythologist, documented the hero’s journey. He realized that great stories had certain common truths that transcend culture and time of origin. These stories all follow common themes and share certain archetypes or characters.
