Fine, unmarked dust jacket, the book appears unread, although inscribed by a family member. 224pp, with 19 illustrated color plates by Neil Reed. "Black Beauty" is a novel written by Anna Sewell, published in 1877. It is considered a classic of children's literature, although Sewell originally intended it for those working with horses to promote humane treatment. The novel is written from the perspective of a horse named Black Beauty and recounts his life, from his early carefree days in the countryside to the harsh conditions of urban life and various owners. A very beautiful edition
