    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    Black Beauty, a gentle horse, recounts his life story. He starts young, living a happy life on a farm. But as fate unfolds, Black Beauty changes hands, experiencing kindness from some owners and cruelty from others. Through city streets pulling cabs and quiet countryside fields, Black Beauty witnesses the best and worst of humanity. The tale, told from a horse's perspective, argues for better treatment of animals and highlights the importance of compassion.

    Author

    Anna Sewell

    Anna Sewell (1820-1878) is a British novelist. Although she wrote a single book in her lifetime, Black Beauty (1877) has become one of the most beloved novels of all time. Due to an injury from a fall at 14 years old, Sewell became an invalid, and her resulting reliance on carriages led to her calling for the humane treatment of horses. Aside from her sole literary work, she assisted her mother in the editing of a series of popular children’s books.
