Black Beauty: Illustrated

From Publisher:

Black Beauty, with 50 black-white Illustrations is sure to command your attention, was first published 1877 novel by English author Anna Sewell. The book that inspired War Horse, a drama movie by Steven Spielberg in 2011, that was a box office success. It was composed in the last years of her life, during which she remained in her house as an invalid. The novel became an immediate bestseller, with Sewell dying just five months after its publication, long enough to see her first and only novel become a success. With fifty million copies sold, Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time. While forthrightly teaching animal welfare, it also teaches how to treat people with kindness, sympathy, and respect. Black Beauty became a forerunner to the pony book genre of children's literature. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 58 on the UK survey The Big Read.
