Annas mother was a successful author of childrens books. She taught Anna at home until she was 12, concentrating on natural history and moral education. When she was 14, Anna fell while walking home from school in the rain, and injured both her ankles. She never recovered completely and had to use a crutch to stand or walk. Anna never married or had children, but lived at home, and remained very close to her mother, Mary Wright Sewell, helping her to edit her books. Anna travelled with her parents to a number of European spas in the hope of improving her health. She met various writers, artists, and philosophers there and enjoyed sharing ideas and opinions with them. Sewells only book was Black Beauty, which she wrote between 1871 and 1877. She dictated the text to her mother. Anna originally wrote Black Beauty for people who worked with horses, but it soon became a popular childrens story. Anna died on 25th April 1878 just five months after the publication of the book. Her home is now a museum. 安娜·塞维尔于 1820 年在英国出生。她的家人是（基督教）贵格会教徒，她有一个叫菲利普的哥哥。 安娜的母亲是一位成功的童书作家。她在家里教安娜，直到她 12 岁，专注于自然历史和道德教育。14 岁时， 安娜在雨中从学校步行回家时摔倒了，她的两只脚踝都受伤了。她从未完全康复过，不得不靠 T 形拐杖站立或走路。 安娜从未结过婚，也没有生过孩子，但她住在家里，与母亲玛丽·赖特·塞维尔关系亲密，帮助她编辑书籍。 安娜和她的父母一起去了一些欧洲的温泉疗养所，希望能改善她的健康状况。她在那里遇到了各类不同的作家、艺术家和哲学家，并乐于与他们分享想法和观点 塞维尔唯一的一本书是写于 1871 年至 1877 年的《黑骏马》。她向母亲口述了这篇文章。安娜最初写《黑骏马》是为了那些和马打交道的人，但它很快就成了一个受欢迎的儿童故事。 1878 年 4 月 25 日，安娜在这本书出版仅仅 5 个月后就去世了。她的家现在是个博物馆。 （P7）About the Book 关于这本书 Black Beauty is one of the best-loved childrens books and it is the only story that Anna Sewell wrote.
