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. The novel became an immediate bestseller, with Sewell dying just five months after its publication, long enough to see her
first and only novel become a success. With fifty million copies sold, Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time. While forthrightly
teaching animal welfare, it also teaches how to treat people with kindness, sympathy and respect.The story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by a horse named Black Beauty—beginning with his carefree days as
a colt on an English farm, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with
many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness. Each short chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a
lesson or moral typically related to the kindness, sympathy, and understanding treatment of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and
extensive descriptions of horse behavior lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude.
