ANNA SEWELL (1820-1878) was born in England. A knee injury at fourteen left her disabled, but she rode and drove horses very well. She began learning about horses early in life, spending many hours driving her father to and from the station from which he commuted to work. Her dependence on horse-drawn transportation fostered her respect of horses. She wrote her one book, "Black Beauty," in her fifties, and it was published in 1877, just five months before she died.
