This is the first time that a book about the Olympic and Paralympic Games specifically showcasing India?s place and performance in them has been published for young readers. It is also a useful guide to the London Games, 2012.

This comprehensive and well-researched paperback begins with the Games? origins in Ancient Greece and brings readers up to date with the Olympic movement, its philosophy, and its development into the world?s largest sporting spectacle. Highs and lows, individual and collective achievements, the evolution of a spirit of multiculturalism and inclusiveness, controversial events, as well as facts and figures are judiciously featured, along with fun cartoons and timeless photos.
