    'I have never forgotten my mother's advice; I knew she was a wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her.' These are the words with which Black Beauty begins the narration of his autobiography- one of the most moving horse stories of all time. Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's long and varied life-as a young colt he is surrounded by gentle care and comfort but is sold to a series of owners, including a squire, an earl, and a cab driver. Throughout his life he meets all types of people-some kind and caring, and others cruel and indifferent. But nothing breaks Black Beauty's spirit.Anna Sewell wrote her only novel near the end of her life, and for over one hundred years since, it has been counted among the classics of children's literature.

    ¿The most influential anticruelty novel of all time.¿-Bernard UntiBlack Beauty (1877), the only novel from Anna Sewell, was the first book ever written from the singular viewpoint of an animal. The fictional narrative, told by Black Beauty, a genial thoroughbred, was initially written by the author ¿to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses.¿ Over time the book has become a classic book for children, despite its initial adult readership. The book is considered the advent of the Anthropomorphic literary genre.Black Beauty, the gentle horse and narrator of the story, begins with recollection of an idyllic youth with his mother and other kind horses. When Black Beauty is four years old, his owner sells him to Squire Gordon, who provides a caring home among other horses. One of the squire¿s other horses, a headstrong chestnut named Ginger, becomes Black Beauty¿s best friend. When the squire¿s wife becomes seriously ill, the couple are forced to sell their horses; in a heartbreaking turn of events, Black Beauty is sold in a succession of transactions where he is mistreated, overworked, and separated from Ginger. Although scarred, Black Beauty is resilient and eventually is returned to a life of kindness and care. This deeply moving story aimed towards the awareness of animal welfare was influential reforms in the laws regarding the treatment of horses; yet, its enduring legacy is the massage of compassion that has touched readers for more than 200 years. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Black Beauty is both modern and readable.

Anna was unable to stand without a crutch or to walk for any length of time because of an old injury. For greater mobility, she frequently used horse-drawn carriages, which contributed to her love of horses and concern for the humane treatment of animals.
