Black Beauty Black Beauty

Publisher Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.


With Black Beauty, author Anna Sewell hoped to make people care about the cruel abuses that cab horses were suffering—bought and sold, whipped, and worked to exhaustion. Sewell tells the story from the perspective of Beauty, a horse who lived an idyllic life on a farm in the English countryside until he was sold and forced to pull cabs in London. In this way, she invites us to empathize with her animal hero.

Black Beauty did, in fact, change hearts and minds. Shortly after its publication in 1877, it became illegal to use bearing reins, which were designed to hold a horse’s head at a painful, unnatural angle. Almost 150 years later, Sewell’s classic has become one of the best-selling books of all time.

Lost for words

I am a great equine book fan but never have i seen such an excellent book from the point of view of a horse. I am extremely upset to have finished because i enjoyed it so much that i would have liked it to last forever. This book takes you on an epic adventure through the horse's mind. It was thoroughly entertaining but a bit sad at some points. Every equine fan, every adventure book fan, every fiction fan, every book worm or just plain anyone will enjoy this book 10 out of 5 stars from me. This book blew "5 star" out of the water. What a great read
