288 pages. Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine is uncreased. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. Edwin Flack's flying feet gave Australia a flying start to the modern-day Olympics. The unassuming Flack rolled into Athens unannounced in 1896. Everybody fell in love with him and he was feted by kings and queens. He was dubbed the Lion of Athens. And Australia can forever boast a record because of Flack. But Flack was much more than a champion athlete, he was one of Australia's biggest accountants. He was a partner in Flack and Flack, which is now PricewaterhouseCoopers. He was a farmer, he was a diarist, he was a collector. He was a bachelor - but left most of his money to children's and women's charities. Even today, Flack's estate continues to give hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to needy causes, over seven decades after his death. Quantity Available: 1.
