Told from the perspective of a horse, Black Beauty (1877) dives into the topic of animal rights like no other novel. Tossed from owner to owner, he encounters mistreatment in many forms, but luckily, his journey is not without love either. Black Beauty is raised by a caring mother on an idyllic farm, not knowing that he will never be as free again.
She wrote Black Beauty – her only novel – in the final years of her life, and lived just long enough to see its positive reception. Being herself an invalid, author Anna Sewell (1820-1878) seemed particularly aware of the importance of kindness toward all living creatures. In the years after her death, Black Beauty would become the foundation for change in horse welfare in both England and the US.
