About the Author

Anna Sewell was born in 1820 in England. Around the age of 14, Sewell fell and injured her ankles. They didn't heal properly. From then on, she had trouble walking and relied on horses to take her where she needed to go. She loved horses and was grateful for them. Sewell was shocked to see how cruelly some people treated her favorite animal. In 1872, Sewell was told she had only a short time to live. She decided to write a book that would show the kind and loving nature of horses. That book, the only one she ever wrote, was Black Beauty. It has been considered a classic since it was published in 1877.

Review

"...an outstanding series of graphic novel adaptations for classic stories that have been entertaining young readers for generations. Author Lisa L Owens in particular has two new and simply outstanding additions to this wonderfully entertaining and beautifully illustrated series. 'Black Beauty' is originally written by Anna Sewell, and in this graphic novel edition is adapted by Lisa Owens in perfect coordination with the full colour illustrations by Jennifer Tanner. This warmly engaging story of a beautiful horse and his adventures has entertained young readers ever since it first appeared." Midwest Book Review October 2006
