Written nearly a century and a half ago, this book was the first major animal story in children's literature, although the author had intended it for adults.

Anna Sewell had been crippled at a young age but could still drive a horse-drawn carriage. She often drove her father to the station to go to work and later picked him up to bring him home. During those times, she saw there was often inhumane treatment of horses and was inspired to write about it in order, as she said, To induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses. She spent the last seven years of her life writing her only novel, Black Beauty, told in first-person narration by Black Beauty himself.
