At which age did Anna Sewell, author of ‘Black Beauty’ sustain a life-limiting injury?
Correct answer: 14
Loren
Good for her for bringing awareness of proper treatment of horses to people. What a talent she had and at such a young age. Sad that her injuries were not treated correctly. I remember the series. She brought such a wonderful story to life.

Holly Golightly
so sad to read about her injuries. she must have been in a great deal of pain for a long time.being so young i can imagine she cried many tears. What a difference if she had been born a hundred years later.

I read Black Beauty when I was younger - now it just makes me cry. Also, can't read Blackfriars Bobby - just too sad.

I also fell in the rain while walking home from school at the age of 7yrs old. Thank God, I wasn’t injured, only my pride.
