Black Beauty was the only book Anna Sewell ever wrote. It took six years to write, mostly dictated to her mother. She sold it to a publisher for a single payment of ₤40, and died five months later. 

In a couple years, 2 million copies circulated the US. It has made a huge impact on animal welfare, and has been referred to as “the most influential anticruelty novel of all time.”

Write your fucking book. 

Make your art.

You have no idea how important it could become.
