Description

A spirited horse passes through the hands of many masters - some kind, some cruel - in this classic of children's literature. Narrated from the horse's perspective in simple yet lyrical language, Black Beauty tells a moving story of courage in the face of adversity and the healing power of love and kindness. Generations of readers of all ages have adored this 1877 novel, which is widely credited with having improved the treatment of horses. This deluxe hardcover edition is graced by 18 gorgeous, full-color illustrations by British artist Cecil Aldin, famous for his fine equestrian art.

Author Biography:

Anna Sewell (1820-78) suffered a childhood injury to both ankles that forced her to rely upon horse-drawn transportation for the rest of her life. Sewell's love of horses and concern for their humane treatment inspired the creation of her only book, Black Beauty, which has touched the hearts of generations of readers since its 1877 publication. Cecil Aldin (1870-1935) is renowned for his paintings of animals and rural life as well as for his book and magazine illustrations of equestrian scenes. An avid sportsman and Master of Foxhounds, he served as a Remount Purchasing Officer during World War I and was active in training horses for army service.
