About Anna Sewell

Anna Sewell (1820–1878) was born in England and, after a fall, was crippled at a young age. As a result, she spent a great deal of time riding in horse-drawn carriages, which led to the development of a deep concern for the proper treatment of animals. Black Beauty, Sewell's only publication, was written entirely in the last decade of her life, when she was confined to her house.

I don't think it would have gone into m......more

Goodreads review by Michael on July 08, 2021

This is a collection of five classic children's books. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is one of two books that most influenced me as a writer. (The other is On The Beach.) It is brilliant and multi-layered. It was delightful to hear it after reading it many years ago. I never read The Secret Garden......more
