About the author

Anna Sewell was an English novelist who wrote the 1877 novel Black Beauty, her only published work. It is considered one of the top ten best-selling novels for children, although the author intended it for adults. Sewell died only five months after the publication of Black Beauty, but long enough to see her only novel become a success.

Reviews

[Artham · Rating 3 out of 5]

Again, my rating is closer to 3.9 stars.

I enjoy these books, really!
They're just not something that measures up to some of my other favorites.
BUT. The writing is lovely, I seriously enjoyed the new characters and their stores, and I'm curious to see what happens with Gilbert and Anne. 👀
