SEWELL, ANNA - Black Beauty (Andre Deutsch Classics)

Andre Deutsch Ltd. 1996. (ISBN: 9780233990392). Hardcover, 0.8 x 5.8 x 9.0 inches. Hardback no D/J in good condition. 1996 Andre Deutsch Ltd edition. Amazon - A horse is a horse of course unless of course the horse is Black Beauty. Animal-loving children have been devoted to Black Beauty throughout this century, and no doubt will continue through the next. Although Anna Sewell's classic paints a clear picture of turn-of-the-century London, its message is universal and timeless: animals will serve humans well if they are treated with consideration and kindness. Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails in a gentle, 19th-century way against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty's fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all.
