A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Eric Liddle is famous for being the man who would not compromise his religious principles and refused to compete in the Olympics on a Sunday - despite the fact that he was the red hot favourite for the gold. Instead he entered a different event that was not being competed on the Sabbath. . . and won a gold anyway. One of Scotland's finest athletes, Liddle was feted throughout the United Kingdom. At the height of his fame, however, he slipped quietly out of the limelight to become a missionary in China, where he later came to an unpleasant end in a Japanese internment camp.

Biographie de l'auteur :

The daughter of Magnus 'Mastermind' Magnusson, Sally is a very experienced author, as well as presenting news, current affairs and religious programmes for the BBC. This is a reworking of one of her earliest books.
