Roger Robinson

Streamline Creative Publishing (Auckland, New Zealand) will publish a 25th Anniversary edition of Heroes and Sparrows: A Celebration of Running, Roger's first running book, published in 1986. The new edition is designed to be available both electronically and in print form. Heroes and Sparrows is a varied collection of articles, giving an inside view of the early days of the modern running boom. It was also the first book that affirmed the new priority in running on participation, the equal significance of back-of-the-pack with elites: hence its title, from the lines "who sees with equal eye, great God of all,/A hero perish, or a sparrow fall."
