Black Beauty (Owc)

Now a classic of children's literature, though not originally published for children, this new edition of Anna Sewell's 'Autobiography of a Horse' is the only critical edition, with illuminating features not available elsewhere.
Includes illustrations and material from the first American edition, including an introductory chapter, 'What is Overloading a Horse, and How Proved?' and 'Killing Animals Humanely'.
The wide-ranging Introduction considers the multiple ways in which the story has been read: as children's classic, protest novel, horse-care manual, feminist text, autobiography and more.
Edited by Anna Sewell's biographer, Adrienne E. Gavin, drawing on the latest scholarship.
Includes an appendix of variants between the first British and American editions
