Anna Sewell

    March 30, 1820 – April 25, 1878

    Anna Sewell was a woman of profound compassion, whose lifelong love for horses and desire for their better treatment resulted in the most celebrated animal story of the nineteenth century. Raised in a strict Quaker family, she was instilled with values of self-reliance, moral responsibility, and 'tender consideration for the Creatures of God.' Her work, penned amidst chronic health struggles, stands as a masterful narrative told from a horse's perspective. This poignant tale not only highlights the cruelty of ownership but also celebrates the resilient spirit of animals, underscoring the importance of kindness and understanding in the human-animal bond.
