What are your favorite books of all time as adults read to a child or a?
I love Black Beauty (Anna Sewell) and Little Women (Louisa May Alcott). What are your favorites? I also like 1984th As a child I loved Enid Blyton – Mallory Towers, St. Claire's, Famous 5, Secret 7 etc etc. A history of the Servant of Margaret Atwood was also good. Lizzie – Were they the "crime number" or "Point Horror" books? I can not remember. I liked RL Stine even in elementary school. Oh, and Nancy Drew. Still Black Beauty and Little Women are the best for me.
Child: The "Adventure" series of books. This were the sons of the famous zoologist, who went all over the world and studied animals. The books were really fast and the formation of the animal world they met: – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventure_Series_ (Willard_Price) Adults: 'Shadow of the Wind "by Carlos Zafon, '1984' by George Orwell: "In the Miso Soup" by Ryu Masakami.

Black Beauty by Sewell, Anna Edition LTE, 0 $24.99 Perhaps the most celebrated animal story of the 19th century, Black Beauty is the suspenseful and deeply moving account of a horse’s experiences at the hands of many owners — some, sensitive riders who treat him gently; others, cruel drivers who thoughtlessly inflicted lasting damage. Written as the animal’s autobiography, and as an appeal for the humane treatment of horses, Anna Sewell’s beloved classic reveals as much about human conduct and the social ills of the time as it does about the treatment of animals. This title is included only in Perennial 6. |

For Student Series Novels: Black Beauty by Anna Sewell $8.99 Black Beauty, first published in 1877, is a realistic animal story that focuses on the animal itself, not on a child’s interaction with an animal like so many other animal tales. Also unique is the presentation of the story using a horse as the first-person narrator; in other words, as if the horse wrote the story. The original title page for the novel read: Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse, translated from the original equine, by Anna Sewell. The genre of animal autobiography had been seen in a limited fashion before, but Black Beauty is considered the first novel of this type. The style of presenting an animal as an animal rather than giving it human traits has been followed by similar stories such as Beautiful Joe, The Incredible Journey, and Bambi. Further, Sewell’s novel has been an influence on animal stories of all kinds, including those of popular modern writers such as Beatrix Potter and Kenneth Grahame. Sewell’s intention in writing the book was to promote the humane treatment of horses. Called the “Uncle Tom’s Cabin of the Horse,” Black Beauty is credited with having the greatest effect on the treatment of animals of any publication in history. The book resulted in legislation protecting horses and a changed public attitude about animal pain and the traditional and fashionable practices that caused suffering for horses. Black Beauty was the only book that Sewell wrote, and she sold the manuscript for only twenty pounds. It is still one of the most widely read books in the world, with numerous translations…. |

Black Beauty by Sewell, Anna; Rosoff, Meg Edition ILL, 0 $11.99 Anna Sewell was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, on March 30, 1820. Brought up in a strict Quaker family, Anna developed a strong interest in horses as a young girl. But a crippling bone disease and a fall in 1834 left her an invalid for most of her life. By her mid-thirties she was severely lame and could only get around in a pony cart, and characteristically she would never use a whip on the animal. In 1871, she was told she had eighteen months to live, and by the end of that year, she had begun her book, Black Beauty, hoping it might make people a little kinder to their faithful horses. Although she was seriously ill, she lived long enough to finish her book and see it published in 1877. On April 25, 1878, she died at her home in Old Catton near Norwich, England. Black Beauty, an enormous success from its first appearance, was soon adopted by the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and used to improve the conditions of horses everywhere. Meg Rosoff was born in Boston, USA. She has worked in publishing, public relations and most recently advertising, but thinks the best job in the world would be head gardener for Regents Park. Meg lives in Highbury, North London. She is the author of Just in Case, What I Was and How I Live Now. |
