Book Description
Here is the compelling tale of a spirited young Thoroughbred that captured the hearts of readers throughout Victorian England when it was first published in 1877. This masterfully illustrated classic is skillfully adapted by Newbery Award-winning author Robin McKinley and remains faithful to the original. With simple text to read aloud to young children, it's little wonder that The Boston Globe says it is "certain to quicken the hearts of young horse lovers." A timeless tale of courage, hope, and strength guaranteed to delight a new generation of readers.
Anna Sewell
Anna Sowell: An English novelist, born in 1820. She was well educated at home by her mother, who could write for children. At the age of fourteen, her ankle was seriously injured, which prevented her from walking, and for the rest of her life she depended on a horse-drawn carriage, which deepened her connection with horses. Between 1871 and 1877, she wrote the manuscript of her only novel, The Black Beauty. The novel was originally intended for adults who deal with horses to urge them to treat them well, but it has become one of the most famous children's novels. Sowell died in April 1878, five months after the publication of her novel
