  • "Based on the true story of William Buckley, a bricklayer, the novel begins in the rural Cheshire of the 1790s as William and Het are making ready for the annual festival known as Shick-Shack Day. William has been chosen as the village's Shick-Shack - an ancient fertility figure, face blackened with charcoal and bedecked with boughs of oak - and Het is to be his Teaser. But when the local landowner discovers the celebration in the church, William is arrested and sentenced to transportation to New Holland. As he is taken from the church, he vows to Het that he will return."
