Black Beauty Episode 5

Tonight I will read a few more Chapters from Black Beauty. Written by Anna Sewell while she was bedridden and seriously ill Black Beauty was published in 1877. The author died 5 months after its publication but lived long enough to see its success as it was an immediate best seller and still is today. Anna Sewell has said that she wrote the novel to induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding in the treatment of horses. Her novel succeeded in doing this and sparked many animal welfare movements. I will not be reading the novel in its entirety but just a few of my favourite chapters. In tonight's episode Black Beauty has again moved on to another home and is now a London Cab horse. The edition I am reading uses text from the first edition and reflects the language and attitudes of the time it was written.
