Author Biography
Anna Sewell was born on March 30, 1820, in England. A childhood injury prevented her from walking well, so she spent much time riding in horse-drawn carriages. She originally wrote Black Beauty to encourage others to treat horses with kindness; little did she know the book would become a best-selling novel. Black Beauty was Sewell's only novel; however, she is remembered for her many efforts to improve the treatment of animals.
