Meet Freda Nicholls co-author of Love Sweat & Tears telling her sister’s Zelie Bullen’s story.

‘All of the love that you put into your animals has come out on screen, on my screen and it will be there forever.’ – Steven Spielberg

The inspirational true story of a remarkable young woman who overcame an unconventional childhood, personal tragedy and depression to work as a stunt woman and then as one of the most successful animal trainers in Australia, if not the world. Zelie’s love of animals and their affection for her has kept her going during even her darkest moments, and ultimately this led her to the man she loves and to the amazing life she now leads.
Step inside Zelie’s extraordinary world where she has worked with everyone from Princess Zahra, the Aga Khan’s daughter, to Antonio Banderas, to the piglets in Babe and the war horse in Stephen Spielberg’s epic film, War Horse.

In writing her story, Zelie, has been assisted by her sister, Freda Nicholls, who is a rural journalist and has had many magazine articles published, most recently as a regular contributor to R.M. Williams Outback magazine. This is their first book. Come along to Orange City Library on Monday 15th July at 12.30pm to meet Freda. This event is supported by Collins Booksellers, Orange.
