Classic British horror The Wicker Man marks its 50th anniversary this year (well, depending on when you count from...), and the latest contribution to the celebrations is a new making-of book: The Wicker Man: The Official Story of the Film.

Written by John Walsh, who had full access to the archives of rights-holders StudioCanal, it’s a pretty impressive piece of work. Featuring scores of stills reproduced at a generous size, it draws on 15 new interviews, including ones with key players like production designer Seamus Flannery, producer Michael Deeley, and Peter Snell – then MD of production company British Lion. 

The Wicker Man: The Official Story of the Film is available to buy now (RRP £39.99), but thanks to Titan Books we have three copies to give away.
