Book Description

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell is a moving novel told from the perspective of a horse named Black Beauty. Born on a peaceful English farm, Beauty enjoys a happy and gentle upbringing. However, his life changes as he is sold to different owners, each with varying degrees of kindness and cruelty. Through his experiences, Beauty witnesses both compassion and harshness in the way humans treat animals. The novel follows his journey from the comfort of a loving home to the hardships of pulling heavy cabs in the city and enduring neglect and abuse. Along the way, he meets other horses, such as Ginger and Merrylegs, whose lives also reflect the injustices faced by working animals. Sewell uses Beauty’s story to highlight the importance of kindness, empathy, and humane treatment of animals. The book exposes cruel practices like the use of bearing reins and overworking horses for human convenience. By the end, Beauty finally finds peace in a caring home after years of suffering. Published in 1877, Black Beauty became one of the most influential animal welfare novels, inspiring better treatment for horses and promoting compassion toward all living beings.
