Anna Sewell was an English novelist who wrote the 1877 novel Black Beauty, her only published work, which is now considered one of the top ten best-selling novels for children, although it was originally intended for an adult audience. She died just five months after Black Beauty‘s publication, having lived long enough to see her only novel become a success.
