Black beauty

Anna Sewel wrote only one novel during her lifetime, a book describing the life of a beautiful, black hoarse. Sewel was very concerned about animals and used the book to write about the terrible treatment of horses in England at the time. The book is written from the point of view of the horse, which helps us to understand the influence that good and bad treatment had on horses in the story.
