If it has been adapted by Pat Bury then the copyright will have started for that pricking, with her. She may have sold it to Ruth Bean, or licensed it to her but this should be, as others have said, our starting point<
Or Ruth Bean might have commissioned and paid Patricia Bury to produce the pricking for her and that is why Ruth Bean holds the copyright on it. I doubt that Patricia Bury would be willing to make a another different adaption from the one she has in her collection. It must have taken a long time to draft and test the one she did. The one in her collection presumably is the copyright of someone else, possibly Catherine Channer - how complicated these things can be. The one I have has obviously been professional, probably mechanically, pricked. It probably cost a lot to have the machinery set up to do that, and that could be part of the reason why Ruth Bean was unwilling to produce more. But I suspect that most people would be willing to prick it themselves if they could just get their hands on a legal print of the pricking.
