Description
Black Beauty is a powerful and moving story about life as a horse in Victorian England. Told from the horse's own perspective, it recounts his idyllic colt-hood and experiences with various owners, both good and bad. The novel was originally written to expose the cruelty that horses suffered at the hands of their owners, but it has become so much more than that. It is a story about the unthinking brutality that animals were subjected to, and the lessons that can be learned from those who have faced danger and excitement. This edition includes an introduction by Anna Sewell's biographer, Adrienne E. Gavin, which draws on the latest scholarship to examine the novel in all its complexity. This new edition features illustrations and material from the first American edition, as well as a glossary of equine terms and an appendix comparing variants between the British and American editions.
