BLACK BEAUTY - ANNA SEWELL TASCHENBUCH

The story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by the titular
horse named Black Beauty-beginning with his carefree days as a colt on an English farm with his
mother  to his difficult life pulling cabs in London  to his happy retirement in the country.
Along the way  he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness.
Each chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically
related to the kindness  sympathy  and understanding treatment of horses  with Sewell's
detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behaviour lending the novel a good
deal of verisimilitude. While forthrightly teaching animal welfare  it also teaches how to
treat people with kindness  sympathy  and respect. With fifty million copies sold  Black Beauty
is one of the best-selling books of all time. Anna Sewell (1820-1878) was an English novelist 
best known as the author of the classic 1877 novel Black Beauty. 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.
