I remember having this book read to me as a very young child, as well as watching the original movie. As an animal lover, I remembered the messages of kindness and the humane treatment of animals. The author even expresses her support for euthanasia, told in a way that a child could understand.

I wanted to reread the original version, even though it's considered a "children's classic" because I know that these books often contain additional messages for adults. Wow, I wasn't wrong.

Anna Sewell only wrote one book, and although it is told from the perspective of a horse, it's very apparent that she had a multitude of strong beliefs that she needed us to hear. Lessons for adults. Lessons told in 1877 that everyone would do well to heed today. She breaches the subjects of division in religion and politics. She repeatedly expresses her feelings related to what we recognize today as "see something, say something". She opines on war. Most of all, she talks about character and reputation, from vanity to excessive drinking, timeliness, honesty, kindness and respect. She even addresses family and work life balance.

It's a soft sell, and you can simply enjoy the tender story of Black Beauty's life, if you so choose. It takes us back to "simpler" times when travel relied on a good horse and buggy. If you're paying attention though, this book is quite complex. Apparently Sewell did not intend for it to be a children's book.

i'm glad I chose to reread it in 2022, as an adult who shares many of Ms. Sewell's views. I wish I'd known her.
