Black Beauty A Horse Is a Horse of Course Unless of Course the Horse Is Black Beauty. Animal-Loving Children Have Been Devoted to Black Beauty Throughout This Century, and No Doubt Will Continue Through the Next

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. Although Anna Sewell's classic paints a clear picture of turn-of-the-century London, its message is universal and timeless: animals will serve humans well if they are treated with consideration and kindness.Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman to a painfully overworked cab horse.
