Utdrag
Anna Sewell is best known for the novel Black Beauty. She incorporated her own observations and perspectives into her writing.

Growing up in England, at the time when Sewell was growing up, horses were terribly mistreated. They were overworked, forced to work in terrible conditions, beaten and not properly groomed or harnessed.

This made a deep impression on Sewell and inspired her to write about the horses' suffering and challenges in Black Beauty.

The novel also became an important part of the animal welfare movement and helped to change attitudes towards the treatment of animals.
