A funny look at old sporting legends,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nudes and Nikes: Champions and Legends of the First Olympics (True Stories) (Paperback)
Here is a book that links the modern olympics with the ancient olympics.
Funny and full of amazing facts, it is also an eyeopener to the way we played sport 3000 years ago and the fact that some things never change. Excellent for anyone preparing a project on the Olympics, this book will appeal to all ages. It entertains while informing.
