Illustrations in old books are often quite beautiful and the illustrations in this classic novel Black Beauty written by Anna Sewell are fantastic... I can't remember reading Black Beauty and recently found this beautifully worn copy at Vinnies Ringwood - in a half price book sale.
Black Beauty was written by English author Anna Sewell in 1877 and was her only novel. She died 5 months after it was published, but got to see Black Beauty become a success... this copy published in 1950 was illustrated by George Santos...

While the cover doesn't, those illustrations look really familiar...and I definitely did read Black Beauty as a child. Nice!
Oh Karen this is one of my ALL TIME FAVE books I read as a child....I never new Anna died soon after it was published OR that it was her ONLY work....!!
