Anna Sewell

Anna Sewell (; 30 March 1820 – 25 April 1878) 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. Sewell died only five months after the publication of ''Black Beauty'', but long enough to see her only novel become a success. Provided by Wikipedia
