Description: Black Beauty is a perennial children's favourite one which has never been out of print since its publication in 1877. It is a moralistic tale of the life of the horse related in the form of an autobiography describing the world through the eyes of the creature. In taking this anthropomorphic approach the author Anna Sewell broke new literary ground and her effective storytelling ability makes it very easy for the reader to accept the premise that a horse is recounting the exploits in the narrative. The gentle thoroughbred is treated well and raised with care until a change of circumstances leads to a series of testing experiences in a variety of environments which must be endured until Black Beauty finally canters towards a happy ending. Although Anna Sewell's classic is set firmly in the Victorian period its message is universal and timeless: animals will serve humans well if they are treated with consideration and kindness. There have been many film and television adaptations of the story but it is only the novel that captures the authentic voice of the central character.
