ABOUT THE BOOK

When I was nine years old, my mother gave me a copy of Black Beauty, the story of a lovable, loyal horse, for Christmas. My imagination was captured by Sewell’s portrayal of a devoted relationship between a horse and his master, and I fantasized about riding and caring for such a beautiful creature someday.

Inspired by the book, my brother and I made up a new game: we pretended our bicycles were horses. Mine was named Beauty and my brother named his Merrylegs, after Black Beauty’s friend, the pony. We would leave the house in the morning and pedal to a nearby stream, all the way whinnying and neighing like horses, and giggling ‘til we almost fell off the saddle. Now my brother is gone, and so are our rusty old bikes. But the memories of Black Beauty, my favorite childhood book, will always remain in my heart.

While there are many descriptions of the cover of the early first editions, the original one is said to have been bound in red, blue or green cloth, and beautifully decorated with a drawing of a horse’s head with bridle and rein. The title is printed in capital letters above the horse’s head. Framing the horse and serving as a border is a golden oat plant intertwined among the slats of a trellis.

With forty million copies sold, Black Beauty is said to be the number one best-selling work of fiction written in the English language. It has since been translated into numerous languages including French, German and Italian...
