Black Beauty - His Grooms and Companions. The Autobiography of a Horse by Anna Sewell (Hardcover, Unabridged edition)

Continuously in print and translated into multiple languages since it was first published, Anna Sewell's Black Beauty is a classic work of children's literature that is also an important text in the fields of Victorian studies and animal studies. The new Cambridge Scholars Publishing critical edition reproduces the first edition of 1877, restoring material often abridged in other modern editions. It also includes a critical introduction; contextual material that places the novel in historical context; a chronology of Anna Sewell; and notes on the text that illuminate references to Victorian society and contemporary practices of animal husbandry.
