A series with silk-ribbon markers and headbands, gold stamping on front and spine, and the original colour illustrations on the jackets. Anna Sewell's classic story of a horse was her only book, written when she was fatally ill. Lucy Kemp-Welch's illustrations first appeared in 1915. |
| Synopsis: |
Described on the title-page of the first edition as 'the autobiography of her horse, translated from the original equine', BLACK BEAUTY was Anna Sewell's only book, written when she fatally ill but determined to record her passopnate indignation at the insensitive behaviour of people towards animals. It has been loved by children ever since its first publication in 1877, just a few months before the death of its author, whose declared aim had been to 'induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding treatment of horses'. The illustrations by Lucy Kemp-Welch first apperared in 1915. |
