This hardcover, unabridged edition of Black Beauty, illustrated by British artist, Christian Birmingham, I believe, is the most beautifully illustrated version of the book ever!

Beauty passes through the hands of many masters ― some kind, some cruel ― in this classic. Narrated from the horse's perspective, Black Beauty tells a moving story of courage in the face of adversity and the healing power of love and kindness.

Anna Sewell was a devout Christian. Her faith was a primary motivation for writing Black Beauty.

In many abridgements or movie versions, the Christian content is removed, however In this complete, unabridged version of her work, her Christian beliefs come through. An example from chapter 13:

“cruelty was the Devil’s own trademark, and if we saw any one who took pleasure in cruelty, we might know who he belonged to, for the devil was a murderer from the beginning, and a tormentor to the end. On the other hand, where we saw people who loved their neighbours, and were kind to man and beast, we might know that was God’s mark, for ‘God is Love.’”
