Anna Sewell
Anna Sewell was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, on March 30, 1820. Brought up in a strict Quaker family, Anna developed a strong interest in horses as a young girl. But a crippling bone disease and a fall in 1834 left her an invalid for most of her life. By her mid-thirties she was severely lame and could only get around in a pony cart, and characteristically she would never use a whip on the animal. In 1871, she was told she had eighteen months to live, and by the end of that year, she had begun her book,
Black Beauty, hoping it might make people a little kinder to their faithful horses. Although she was seriously ill, she lived long enough to finish her book and see it published in 1877. On April 25, 1878, she died at her home in Old Catton near Norwich, England.
Black Beauty, an enormous success from its first appearance, was soon adopted by the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and used to improve the conditions of horses everywhere.
Samenvatting
This abridged novel gives a detailed account of a horse, called Black Beauty. He is a fine horse but most of his owners are cruel, money-minded and opportunists. The other animals described in this novel get worse treatment from their human masters. The author has tried to portray the life of these speechless creatures. She did not write many novels but this novel did make her famous as a humane author.
The original flavour of these classics has been carefully retained in these abridged versions.
Must be read by the youth, housewives, students and executives.
