作者簡介
Anna Sewell (1820-78) was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Black Beauty, her only book, was completed and published in 1877, just a few months before she died, so she did not live to know of the book's huge success. Apart from being a good story, Black Beauty was instrumental in changing people's attitudes towards horses, and domestic animals in general.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
安娜·西維爾(Anna Sewell,1820-1878)出生於諾福克的格雷特·亞莫斯。她的唯一著作《黑美人》(Black Beauty)於1877年完成並出版,距離她去世僅幾個月,因此她未能親眼見證這本書的巨大成功。除了是一個好故事之外,《黑美人》在改變人們對馬匹以及一般家畜的態度方面也起到了重要作用。
