'I'm just a little black girl who can run fast, and here I am sitting in the Olympic stadium, with 112,000 people screaming my name. How the hell did I get here?' Few of us will forget Cathy Freeman's victorious 400-metre run at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. In that euphoric moment she symbolised Australia's best and broadest vision of itself, a reconciled nation. For the first time, in her own words, Cathy Freeman tells the story of her remarkable life. With characteristic honesty she talks about growing up black in a white world, about her complicated personal relationships, about how it feels to have the expectations of an entire nation resting on her shoulders, about the price of fame, and about the real reasons for her heart-wrenching decision to retire. Cathy tells us what it's like to be Cathy Freeman. Her strength, courage and magnetic personality are reflected on every page.

To hail Persian Punch as the most popular Flat racehorse on Britain is not sufficient. He has gone beyond the levels of popularity we normally associate with the money-dominated sport of Flat racing. He is a horse who has grabbed the affections of race-goers to a far greater extent than any other in the sport's recent history. Persian Punch's public standing has been built on performance of the utmost bravery, performances which have seen him snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, performances which have left normally hardened observers unable to resist anthropomorphic tributes. The Authorised Story is the ultimate tribute to this wonderful athlete. Flat racing has seen nothing like Persian Punch in years. He is a gentle giant with a positively ruthless will to win, his continued presence enriching the sport. He embodies everything that is great about the racehorse. There can be no greater compliment.
