Grantlee Kieza - Annette Kellerman, Australia Mermaid

Title: Annette Kellerman
Author: Grantlee Kieza
Format: Brand new paperback

Before there was a Bondi swimsuit or an Olympic champion, there was Annette Kellerman, Australia’s original ‘Million Dollar Mermaid’. Annette Kellerman by Grantlee Kieza dives deep into the remarkable true story of the Sydney girl who defied convention, scandalised polite society in a one-piece swimsuit and became one of the world’s first international swimming and film stars.

From swimming the English Channel to starring in silent films and taking on the courts for women’s freedom to swim. Annette’s story is pure Aussie grit and glamour.

If you love inspiring Australian biographies and true tales of fearless women, this one’s a gem. Pop it in your basket and we’ll wrap it with care, a handwritten note and same-day dispatch from our Peninsula shelves to your coffee table.
