Scholastic Classics: Black Beauty by Anna Sewell (author)

“Now I say that with cruelty and oppression it is everybody’s business to interfere when they see it.”

Transcending time and place, Anna Sewell’s moving classic has inspired kindness, tolerance and hope since it was first published in 1877. Now one of the bestselling children’s books of all time, and with themes that are possibly more relevant today than ever before, the story of Black Beauty continues to captivate children, lingering in their minds well into adulthood.
