About the author Anna Sewell was born on March 1820 in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. Her father was a bank manager and her mother was a popular writer of books for young people. When she was fourteen, Anna suffered a fall in which she injured her knee. This never healed and left her unable to walk without the help of a crutch. Over the fallowing years, she became increasingly disabled. However, she learnt to drive a horse-drawn carriage and took great pleasure in taking her father to and from the station on his way to work. She was a very skilled driver and was known for her ability to control the horses by the sound of her voice alone. She often drove with a very loose rein and never used a whip.

Sewell’s introduction to writing began in her youth when she helped to edit her mother’s books. During the last seven or eight years of her life , Sewell was confined to her house due to her failing health. She spent this time writing Black Beauty , a fictional autobiography of a gentle horse , which drew on all her memories of the abusive treatment she had seen. Unfortunately , Sewell never saw the eventual success of her book. She died on 25 April 1878 , only a year after Black Beauty was published. Her only book “Black Beauty” written between1871-1877 in their house at Old Catton, broke new literary ground.

Black Beauty's A COLT. Black Beauty spent his young life with his mother on Farmer Grey’s farm. Farmer Grey was a good, kind man and the horses had a good life.

Black Beauty’s life in Birtwick Park First, he went to live at Birtwick park with Mr. Gordon and his family, who treated their horse well. He became friends with two other horses, Merrylegs and Ginger. He was cared for by a groom called John Manly, who never used a whip. His wife gave him the name of Black Beauty. He learnt to carry a rider and pull a carriage.

The Fire The stale boy, James, got a better job with a nearby farmer so he was trained by the head groom. One day , on a trip to Oxford they stopped for the night. That night the horses couldn’t sleep: they felt unhappy and frightened by the smell of smoke in the air. A careless man smoked in the stables and caused a big fire. James put the cloth round Black Beauty’s head so the horse couldn’t see the fire.

Black Beauty goes to Rose Hall At Rose Hall Black Beauty was reunited with Joe, the young groom, who u sed to look after him at Mr. Gordon’s home. The women wanted to keep Black Beauty, so once again he had a kind and happy home.

Слайд 19

Today some critics think that Black Beauty is too sentimental, but in our opinion it’s a sad story. Because the author touched upon the serious problem of treatment of horses. We believe that Sewell wrote the novel not for children but grown-ups. Her purpose in writing the novel was “to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses”. … here is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it doesn’t teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham… (Black Beauty, chapter 13, last paragraph) Our discoveries

I recommend… Yana Cherkasova : It’s worth reading for people who loves animals and stories about animals. Gayk Ovsepyan : The book gives a good advice for people who don’t know how to treat the horses. I recommend them to choose it for reading. Kostin Maxim : No doubt ,the book is a favourite with animal lovers ,however it’s worth reading for the whole family. Telpiz Alena : The book is interesting and exciting story for people of all ages.
