Notes

From the National Library blog:

Joseph Romanos has done well with this publication.

The book includes a terrific range of male and female sports heroes, those of historical significance alongside today's stars. It makes for interesting reading and will appeal to sport enthusiasts and those who will pick up the book and become fascinated by the stories of achievement inside.

Wood- chopping, kayaking, netball, athletics, tennis and rugby jostle for attention. The language is not technical but dwells on the individual's personalities in an informative and readable'style.
