Anna Sewell (/ˈsjuːəl/;[2] 30 March 1820 – 25 April 1878)[1] 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.[3] Sewell died only five months after the publication of Black Beauty, but long enough to see her only novel become a success.
