Behind the Scenes
Discovering age-old cultural narratives and making them accessible for the modern reader does not happen overnight. It’s a journey, a process that repeats with each new story, each new book.
Unlike written narratives, an oral story passed down generations tends to transform, like a living organism - influenced by, and influencing, its narrators along the journey.
