Anna Sewell was een vrouw van diep medeleven, wiens levenslange liefde voor paarden en haar wens voor een betere behandeling van hen resulteerden in het meest gevierde dierenverhaal van de negentiende eeuw. Opgegroeid in een strenge Quaker-familie, werden haar waarden van zelfredzaamheid, morele verantwoordelijkheid en 'teder medeleven met Gods schepselen' bijgebracht. Haar werk, geschreven te midden van chronische gezondheidsproblemen, is een meesterlijke vertelling vanuit het perspectief van een paard. Dit aangrijpende verhaal belicht niet alleen de wreedheid van eigendom, maar viert ook de veerkrachtige geest van dieren, en onderstreept het belang van vriendelijkheid en begrip in de band tussen mens en dier.

We are presenting this edition as a part of the selected Christmas specials and classics published for this joyful and charming holiday season, for all those who want to keep the spirit of Christmas alive with a heartwarming tale. The story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by the titular horse named Black Beauty-beginning with his carefree days as a colt on an English farm with his mother, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness. Each chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically related to the kindness, sympathy, and understanding treatment of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behaviour lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude. While forthrightly teaching animal welfare, it also teaches how to treat people with kindness, sympathy, and respect.
