        <description><![CDATA[Dick Towler was in the stable to put down some hay.  He had been told to do so by the under ostler, and reminded to lay down his pipe first, because of John Manly's rule &quot;never to allow a pipe in the stable&quot;.  After the disastrous fire, Dick denied having taken the pipe into the stable with him, &quot;but no one believed him&quot;.  A man finally came forward and &quot;said he saw Dick Towler go into the stable with a pipe in his...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Sewell was a lover of all animals, particularly horses.  Along with an innate gentle nature and sensitivity to creatures, Sewell's awarness of cruelty to animals may have been raised by the growing presence of the SPCA in England (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).  The original purpose of the SPCA was to prevent cruelty to horses.  England had the first ever SPCA.  It was founded in England in 1824, when Sewell was four...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In my opinion, the primary reason for writing the story was to expose the inhumane treatment of horses by human beings. The book serves as a catalog of abuse of animals from maliciousness to carelessness. Pretty much every chapter shows the reader a different way that people were abusing horses in those days. I think the author loved horses and wanted to show what great creates they are, and also to decry the way they were treated in England...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The main theme of Black Beauty is the care of animals, particularly horses.  Many people have said that Sewell could have written a non-fiction text describing the care of horses instead of Black Beauty because there is so much in it on how to care for them.  In this care, Sewell also alerts the reader to the abuse of animals.  The reader wanted to gain sympathy from her readers for these animals in an attempt to help end the abuses.One...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Enotes has a whole page discussing the style of this novel.  You can view it at the link below.  A few things to consider - first of all, the narrator of the story is a horse, so that definitely impacts the style.  Sewell is able to accomplish this in a way that appears honest to the reader, getting them to consider things from the animals perspective.  In addition to the point of view, Sewell's poetic descriptions and clear message are...]]></description>
