Black Beauty: by Anna Sewell with Original Illustrations
£13.10
Black Beauty is an 1877 novel by English author Anna Sewell. It was composed in the last years of her life, during which she remained in her house as an invalid. The novel became an immediate best-seller, with Sewell dying just five months after its publication, but having lived long enough to see her only novel become a success. With fifty million copies sold, Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time. While forthrightly teaching animal welfare, it also teaches how to treat people with kindness, sympathy, and respect.

I remember it was the first book I read as a young girl and never forgot about it

I last read this book about 60 years ago and Black Beauty is still a beautiful book. Told through the horse, it’s a great commentary about the treatment of horses in the 1800s and also how life was during the same time period.
