About Anna Sewell
Anna Sewell was a kind and generous woman whose great love for horses resulted in the most celebrated animal story of the nineteenth century. Born into a strict Quaker family who lived at Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, she was brought up to believe in the importance of self-reliance, moral responsibility and 'tender consideration for the Creatures of God'. From an early age, she developed a strong love of animals and abhorred any form of cruelty towards them. Anna received her education at home from her mother who apart from instilling in her a sense of duty and religion also filled the house with music, painting and poetry—she was herself an accomplished ballad-writer. Anna soon proved a capable pianist and artist. As Anna hoped, Black Beauty has exercised great influence on the treatment of animals, a fact highlighted by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) recommendation of the book.
