1. //**Blood Upon the Rose: Easter 1916: the rebellion that set Ireland free.**// It's a graphic novel about the 1916 Rising.

It's published by the O'Brien Press and is 46 pages long and is most of it is available here: http://www.obrien.ie/Book857.cfm It is available from www.obrien.ie, priced at €7.99**.** This may seem odd but as it is a modern collection aimed at various people I think this could be an interesting hook.

**2.** The 1916 Poets. (Desmond Ryan) This is a collection of poetry by Padraic H. Pearse, Joseph M. Plunkett and Thomas MacDonagh. It is both edited and introduced by Desmond Ryan and has now been released in paperback, after first being published in 1963. Desmond Ryan knew all three poets and puts the poems in political context.

It is available from amazon.co.uk, new, from £59.65. I feel that this should be included in the collection as it is provides a cultural perspective on the men and events of 1916. I also think that the fact that the editor knew the poets would prove to be interesting for the audience that we are appealing to.
