“If a thing is right, it
can be done, and if it is wrong, it can be done without; and a good man will
find a way. Black Beauty, a young colt, is raised with love and care by his
benevolent master, Farmer Grey. Once he grows up to be a handsome stallion,
due to a cruel twist of fate, his master is forced to sell him. Leaving his
carefree days on an English farm behind, Black Beauty soon finds himself in
the hands of several ruthless owners and carriage drivers in London. Battling
the bitterness of his masters, he yearns to return to the freedom and
comforts of his country life. Black Beauty, the autobiography of a horse, was
written during the last seven years of Anna Sewell’s life. A testimony to her
outrage against the ill-treatment of horses in Victorian England and her
empathy for animals, it remains an evergreen classic!”

About Author
Born
on 3 March 182 in Norfolk, England, Anna Sewell wrote only one book—Black
Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse that was published in November 1877.
Little did she know that it would become one of the bestselling and most
loved classics of all time. From an early age, Anna Sewell assisted her
mother, Mary Wright Sewell, a well-known author of children’s books, in
editing her manuscripts. For lack of means and fortune, she was
home-schooled.
At 14, she slipped and gravely injured her ankles. Following this mishap,
she spent most of her life confined to her home, and her mobility depended
only on horsedrawn carriages. A fictional autobiography of a high-bred horse,
Black Beauty was not just a novel for children. Anna Sewell’s intent behind
writing the book was, ‘to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding
treatment of horses’. The use of anthropomorphism as a literary device in
Black Beauty stems from her love of horses and her deep resentment against
the ill-treatment of animals. Anna Sewell never married. She died in 1878,
five months after Black Beauty was published.
