Although celebrated as a classic children’s literature, Sewell did not write the novel for children. She said that her purpose in writing the novel was "to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses" Synopsis Black Beauty is a moving story told by a horse, in his own words. A story about a sweet-tempered horse and how he was treated with affection and respect by a kindly master when he was a young a colt galloping around in the fresh green meadows with his beloved mother, Duchess. But also how he fell into illness and despair as he was passed from one set of careless hands to the next when his owners are forced to sell him. Black Beauty is forced to transition from a life of luxury and kindness to one of hard labour and terrible treatment. With great courage and a strong sense of determination he toils tirelessly in the face of cruel folks who abuse animals inhumanely. Black Beauty, on the other hand, is a horse with an unbreakable soul and will, who is determined to survive. Anna Sewell’s moving story is one of the best-loved animal adventures ever written.
