Extractions: -young Anna Sewell prompting her horse to go faster One of the great unanswered questions of life is the mysterious attraction that horses hold for young girls. Sure, we all know that there's some kind of psychosexual component, but why horses in particular? At any rate, Black Beauty Black Stallion National Velvet , etc.) were never central to my childhood reading, but my wife fondly recalls her father reading it to hera topic I feel it is best to avoid commenting on. Anna Sewell was left crippled by a childhood accident and depended on horses to get around. A Quaker, she was apparently extremely sensitive about any violence towards animals. As the quote above indicates, she even used prompting rather than prodding to guide her own rides . In the closing years of her life, suffering intense pain herself, she wrote this book to call attention to the mistreatment of horses and it became a genuine publishing phenomenon. She uses a first person (first horse?) narrative to completely anthropomorphize Black Beauty, a well bred and even tempered stallion who passes from owner to owner. Over the course of the book, Beauty's owners display varying standards of treatment from kindness to neglect to open brutality. But Beauty perseveres and happily ends up back with his original owners. Along the way, Sewell also gets the opportunity to take some potshots at hunting, drinking, poverty and the like.

Children's Literature - Island 3 Anna Sewell (18201878), an invalid Quaker from East Anglia, is known only for onebook, the perennial favorite Black Beauty, the Autobiography of a Horse (1877 http://www.sc.edu/library/spcoll/kidlit/kidlit/kidlit3.html
Extractions: Island 3: Mid-Century Developments - Some Women Writers and the Renascence of Wonder Anna Maria Hall Hall (1800-1881) was one of the most prolific Victorian writers for children, best known for such moral tales as Grandmamma's Pockets (1849) and for her editorship of the annual, the Juvenile Forget Me Not (1828-1837). Displayed here is her beautifully-produced giftbook Midsummer Eve: A Fairytale of Loving and Being Loved (London: J. C. Hotten, 1870). The magic lantern and Uncle Tom's Cabin Perhaps because of its strong story-line, clear morality, and the good central child character, Eva St. Clair, the American abolitionist novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (first serialized 1851-52) was soon pirated and abridged to become a children's classic. Although the book presents both African-American and white characters through melodrama and stereotype, the novel has received increasing critical reappraisal in recent years. Displayed here on a "sub-island" is a complete set of Victorian hand-painted glass slides of incidents from the novel, designed for an instructive magic-lantern presentation. Collection of Patrick Scott.
