The 1920 Olympic Games
Until this volume was compiled, the results of the 1920 Olympics held in Antwerp, Belgium, have been far from complete. The Antwerp organizing committee typed up a report of the results almost as an afterthought because it was so financially strapped after the games. For some events only the medalists are listed, with little, if any, additional information. Very few copies were ever produced, and those few copies were in French. The seventh in a series on the early Olympics, this work fills a gap in the recording of early Olympics history by providing complete results for all competitors and all events (except for shooting, which has only partial information available). In virtually all cases, a 1920 source has been used in preference to a more modern source of information, and all details have been fully researched in contemporary newspapers, journals, and magazines and checked for accuracy by experts on various sports from all over the world.
The Mystical Closet
Is the mystical closet real or a figment of Jammie’s imagination? When Jammie comes home from school one day without anything to write about for a class assignment, little does he know that he is about to embark on the trip of a lifetime.

If you’re ready for a fun ride, hold on and stand clear of the closing door. The Mystical Closet is a book that will open your mind to believing in magic. Open the book before the train departs!

But the book recounts how the determined Belgians came together to overcome the massive challenge of staging the Games, constructing a new Olympic stadium in less than a year. The heroes of Antwerp are featured: Paavo Nurmi, the Flying Finn, who ...
