Black Beauty (version 3 Dramatic Reading)

(4.8 stars; 62 reviews)

Black Beauty is a fictional autobiographical memoir told by a horse, who recounts many tales, both of cruelty and kindness. The title page of the first edition states that it was "Translated from the Original Equine by Anna Sewell." After its publication in 1877, Sewell lived just long enough to see her first and only novel become an immediate bestseller, as well as it encouraging the better treatment of many cruelly-treated animals.

Although initially intended for people who work with horses, it soon became a children's classic. While outwardly teaching animal welfare, it also contains allegorical lessons about how to treat people with kindness, sympathy and respect. The story is narrated in the first person and each short chapter relates an incident in Black Beauty's life, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behaviour lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude.

Black Beauty Review


(5 stars)

I thoroughly enjoyed Anna Sewell’s timeless classic of Black Beauty. I must agree with another reviewer that Black Beauty and Merrylegs certainly do not sound male. Of course that was not Anna Sewell’s fault. What was her fault is that it’s very hard to find out what gender Black Beauty is. One minute you think Black Beauty is a boy, the next a girl. I would have liked it better if that was more clear. Still, such a timeless classic and very enjoyable. Too bad she couldn’t write more.
