Question angle of attack stability and CG

May someone please tell me what is the relation between angle of attack stability and CG? I know a more forward CG gives better stability and less sensitive control, but why? Is it related to the difference of AOA of the wing and the tail?
I remember learnt somewhere that the larger the AOA differnce of the wing and tail, the higher the AOA stability, is it true?
Thanks in advance.
Tim.
