Platt, Richard Olympics (Through Time), illustrated by
Manuela Cappon. 44 p. Kingfisher,
2012. $17. NON-FICTION.
A brief sketch of the Olympic Games “through history”. Very little time is spent on the
ancient Olympics and the early modern Games. Only one Winter Olympics is mentioned at all. Though it will do as a very short
overview, it is not very satisfying.
For my home crowd – Salt Lake City is not mentioned, except for the
“scandal”. This is not an official
Olympics publication.
