London Olympics by Janie Hampton
The first two London Olympics offer food for thought in the run-up to London 2012. In 1948, London hosted the Olympics again. The entire budget for the 1948 Games was 760,000, and they turned a profit of 29,000. This title presents the history of the London Olympics.
Janie Hampton is the author of more than fifteen books, including a biography of Joyce Grenfell and a history of the Girl Guide movement. In 2008 her book 'The Austerity Olympics' was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year prize, and the British Sports Book Awards best biography prize. Janie lives in Oxford.
