Black
Beauty was written over a hundred years ago, in a time prior to the
invention of automobiles in which animals were the main means of
transport. All vehicles (carriages, carts, buses, etc.) were pulled by horses and rarely treated well. Anna's
natural empathy with animals made her sensitized to the cruelty she saw
around her, but unlike most of us, she had the courage not to look the
other way. After having an accident at the age of thirteen that made her invalid, she had to move around on a pony. It was his understanding of horses and the horror of human
mistreatment of them that led him to write Black Beauty, the first, and
still the most important novel devoted to the welfare of animals.
His hero is a beautiful black horse, called for that same reason Black Beauty. Beauty is based on a real life story of a horse named Bessie.
The narration is performed in the first person by the same horse. This innovative humanization of an animal made the book a real success.
Born on a farm in England in the last quarter of last century, Black Beauty had a happy childhood until a painful event forced his owner to sell it. After several adventures and days tarnished by suffering and intolerance, sometimes loved, mistreated many, finally finds a home where he returns to know friendship and affection.
Written with deep understanding of the feelings that nest in both humans and animals, young readers will live moments of intense emotion with this book, which for its amenity and its choice of love has become one of the classics of the genre .
It is a remarkable and touching classic novel that enjoy at the moment young and old.

The story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by the titular horse named Black Beauty—beginning with his carefree days as a colt on an English farm with his mother, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness. Each short chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically related to the kindness, sympathy, and understanding treatment of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behaviour lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude.[1]
The book describes conditions among London horse-drawn taxicab drivers, including the financial hardship caused to them by high licence fees and low, legally fixed fares. A page footnote in some editions says that soon after the book was published, the difference between 6-day taxicab licences (not allowed to trade on Sundays) and 7-day taxicab licences (allowed to trade on Sundays) was abolished and the taxicab licence fee was much reduced.
