[writing the novel was] “to induce kindness， sympathy， and an understanding treatment of horses…”
—Anna Sewell
Black Beauty：the Autobiography of a Horse is a novel authored by English writer 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 best-seller， with Sewell dying just five months after its publication， but having lived long enough to see her only novel become a success. While forthrightly teaching animal welfare， it also teaches how to treat people with kindness， sympathy， and respect.
Black Beauty is considered to be one of the first fictional animal autobiographies. Originally meant to be informative literature read by adults on the norms of horse cruelty and preventions of these unjust acts. It is now seen as a children’s book and read by thousands of children worldwide.
With fifty million copies sold， Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time. The novel was recently adapted into a film (starring Kate Winslet) in 2020 by Constantin Film and distributed by Disney .
