Black Beauty: Chiltern Edition

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Anna Sewell


Part of the Chiltern Classics range

Black Beauty is a handsome, well-bred colt, urged by his mother to work hard, serve his masters obediently and never to bite or kick. Such restraint is sorely tested when Beauty is sold to a succession of owners who ill-treat him. Told from Black Beautys perspective, Anna Sewells much-loved story was written to promote kind, sympathetic treatment of horses, a runaway success following its publication in 1877.

About Anna Sewell

Anna Sewell was an English novelist. She is known as the author of the 1877 novel Black Beauty her only published work which is considered one of the top ten best-selling novels for children although the author intended the work for an adult audience. Sewell died just five months after Black Beauty's publication having lived long enough to see her only novel become a success. She was born on March 30 1820 in Great Yarmouth Norfolk into a devout Quaker family. In 1832 when she was twelve the family moved to Stoke Newington and Sewell attended school for the first time. At fourteen Sewell slipped and severely injured her ankles. For the rest of her life she could not stand without a crutch or walk for any length of time. For greater mobility she frequently used horse-drawn carriages which contributed to her love of horses and concern for the humane treatment of animals.
