From the publisher : Like all great cult movies, it’s tricky to explain exactly why The Wicker Man continues to mean so much to its dedicated followers. It’s probably best not to overthink matters, and just revel in it all, which is what a lucky group of fans got to do on May Day 2023, gathering at the original Wicker Man site at Burrow Head in Scotland, exactly fifty years after the events in the film. This limited edition publication is a souvenir celebration of those events, which included the burning of a new Wicker Man created by local artist Amanda Sunderland. Alongside photos of the burning and a brief overview of the weekend, also included is a contribution from Joel Morris, of the band Candidate, who performed songs from the soundtrack, and a poem in the Scots Lallans dialect by Amy Rafferty, who has a very special connection to the film: she appeared as a baby in the churchyard scene. Each copy also includes an individually hand-printed linocut frontispiece of the original Wicker Man. Whether you were there on May Day 2023 or not, this is a unique and very limited piece of Wicker Man history... AN IMPORTANT ERRATUM NOTE! (from the publisher) Due to an unfortunate error (completely my fault) the artist who created the Wicker Man for the event, Amanda Sunderland, is incorrectly named (twice!) in the booklet as Amanda Sutherland. Many apologies: and thanks to Amanda for being so nice about it when she gently pointed it out. (Apparently I'm not the first to make the mistake, and I doubt I'll be the last.) I will happily answer any further questions. Making offers : I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
