When Black Beauty was first published in 1877, its impact was so great that it actually changed the way people treated horses and other animals. The dramatic tale of the beautiful and spirited black thoroughbred remains a favorite of animal lovers today. This attractive edition of the treasured classic is sure to be cherished by your family for years to come.
“We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.”
Rarely does an entertaining children’s book also bring about significant societal change, but Black Beauty, a touching story following the tumultuous life of a young colt, forced Victorian England to take notice of the mistreatment of horses and seek to improve their welfare.
Perhaps the most celebrated animal story of the 19th century, Black Beauty is the suspenseful and deeply moving account of a horse's experiences at the hands of many owners — some, sensitive riders who treated him gently; others, cruel drivers who thoughtlessly inflicted lasting damage.
Written as the animal's autobiography, and as an appeal for the humane treatment of horses, Anna Sewell's beloved classic reveals as much about human conduct and the social ills of the time as it does about the treatment of animals. Scenes from the lives of both the landed gentry and the impoverished working class offer a subtle but well-rounded perspective of social conditions in England during the late 19th century. Animal lovers of all ages will cherish this memorable story.
Black Beauty is a handsome, sweet-tempered colt with a strong spirit. As a young colt he is free to gallop in the fresh green meadows with his beloved mother, Duchess, and their kind master. But when his owners are forced to sell him, Black Beauty goes from a life of comfort and kindness to one of hard labour and cruelty.
Bravely he works as hard as he can, suffering at the hands of men who treat animals badly. But Black Beauty has an unbreakable spirit and will, and is determined to survive . . .
This enchanting edition features the full unabridged text and Christian Birmingham’s gorgeous colour and black-and-white illustrations depicting Beauty’s nineteenth-century world.
