This retelling of his life includes the text to his most famous poems, songs and the immortal 'Tam O'Shanter'. Burns' life-story is fascinating, and his struggles to escape the grinding hard work of his youth remains powerful, three hundred years after his birth. It is hard to read about Burns without feeling moved, and touched by the ultimate triumph of his poetry. Works include ‘Address to a Haggis’; 'Auld Lang Syne'; 'Tam O'Shanter' and ‘My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose’. Life and Works of Robert Burns is published by Appletree Press and is on sale at all good bookshops price STG Ł4.99 / € 6.95. --------------------------------------- An unusual 'companion volume', but one with a most vital Robert Burns and his legacy.

Keep Her Flying - Ireland's Rally Heroes Appletree Press is proud to announce the publication of Keep Her Flying - Ireland's Rally Heroes, written by Richard Young. Rallying is the most popular Motorsport in Ireland. It is easy to see why it appeals to ‘Petrolheads’. What’s not to like? It is an infectious blend of modified rally cars, mud, speed, mud, fearless drivers, mud, spotlights and did we mention the mud? Special Stage Rallies take place on the open road, together with other special closed stages which, as the name might suggest are roads which are not open to the public. Drivers generally win or lose races based on their speeds over the closed stages. This celebration of rallying looks at the history of the sport in Ireland, and tells the stories of the big names including Eugene Donnelly, Gareth McHale, Kris Meeke, Colm Murphy and Kevin Lynch and many more. Photographs throughout. Liam Nolan Keep Her Flying - Ireland's Rally Heroes is published by Appletree Press and is on sale at all good bookshops price STG Ł19.99 / € 25. John McNally - Boxing's Forgotten Hero Recently published by Appletree Press, John McNally - Boxing's Forgotten Hero is written by Barry Flynn. Ireland has always been famous for her glovemen – men who pitted logic, strength and stamina against men of other nations on the world’s canvas stage. Some even became Olympic medal winners. John McNally was just one of these fighters but unlike the many who followed in his footsteps to find fame and fortune his name is now largely forgotten except to the real boxing aficionado. John McNally won silver in the Olympic Games held in Helsinki in 1952 – a remarkable achievement for any man – but he was also the first Irishman to win an Olympic medal for boxing. Many believe that the medal he should have been awarded was gold and the phrase ‘we was robbed’ could have been coined with John in mind. This is the story of a boxer who fought against overwhelming odds to escape the mean streets of Belfast to reach the heights of his sport. "John McNally made Irish sporting history by becoming the first Irish boxer to win an Olympic medal of any colour. He was a hero. It is right to cherish sporting heroes, and this book does just that." Liam Nolan John McNally - Boxing's Forgotten Hero is published by Appletree Press and is on sale at all good bookshops price STG Ł14.99 and € 18.95.
