Sewell, Anna - Black Beauty (Published in by The Folio Society in 2018. Octavo, pp. xiii, [9], 5-201, [1]. 6 colour plates including frontispiece by Annette Hamley-Jenkins; galloping horse silhouette motif in flick-book style to lower margin throughout. Introduced by Michael Morpurgo. Many writers spend a lifetime working towards literary recognition; Anna Sewell wrote a single book and it is still one of the best-selling titles of all time, having sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. Its longevity is testament to the simple yet enduring theme of animals' interaction with humans, and children still laugh and cry with the equine protagonist as sincerely as when Black Beauty was first published nearly 150 years ago. Bound in blocked cloth. Set in Dante with Rumble Brave display. 224 pages. Frontispiece and 5 colour illustrations. Printed slipcase.
9" x 6.25". )
