Black Beauty, written by Anna Sewell in 1877, is a book about the life and experiences of a horse named Black Beauty. The Black Beauty book is often referred to as an animal autobiography given its first-person narration from the point of view of a horse. It is thought to have changed the way children's books were written forever. Black Beauty shows many great examples of anthropomorphism, as it gives the horses human feelings, thoughts, and emotions as they go through all of the positive and negative experiences in their lives.
