Black Beauty; The Autobiography Of A Horse
A horse's life, told in his own voice. Black Beauty's journey through the lanes and bustling streets of Victorian England is more than a classic horse story - it is an enduring call for kindness, compassion, and justice. Anna Sewell's beloved children's horse novel, presented here in a beautifully illustrated classic edition, invites readers young and old to experience nineteenth-century Britain through the eyes of its most unforgettable equine narrator.From tranquil meadows to the harsh realities of city life, Black Beauty's tale opens a window onto the world of equine care and welfare, shining a light on both the joys and the cruelties faced by horses in an era before animal rights were widely recognised. Through every turn of fortune, the novel's complete unabridged text gently champions humane treatment of animals and raises lasting animal cruelty awareness. Perfect for middle grade readers, classroom literature study, and family reading alike, this edition is as moving and relevant today as when it first appeared.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Black Beauty stands not only as a literary milestone but as a cultural treasure, cherished by generations for its powerful empathy and timeless message.

Autor/in
Anna Sewell
Anna Sewell was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, in 1820 into a devoutly Quaker family. Her mother, Mary Wright Sewell was a successful author of children's books. She was largely educated at home. Sewell's only published work was Black Beauty, written in the period between 1871 and 1877, after she had moved to Old Catton, a village outside the city of Norwich in Norfolk. During this time her health was declining. She was often so weak that she was confined to her bed and writing was a challenge. She dictated the text to her mother and from 1876 began to write on slips of paper which her mother then transcribed. Sewell sold the novel to local publisher Jarrolds on 24 November 1877, when she was 57 years of age. Although it is now considered a children's classic, she originally wrote it for those who worked with horses. She said "a special aim [was] to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses." Sewell died on 25 April 1878 of hepatitis or tuberculosis, five months after her book was published, living long enough to see its initial success.
