Every copy of this edition sold will contribute directly to Redwings’ mission to value every horse and try to see the world from an equine point of view. Redwings are the country’s largest horse welfare charity and proud custodians of Anna Sewell House in Great Yarmouth – the site of Sewell’s birth in 1820 and now a space dedicated to her life and legacy. Featuring an original foreword by favourite children's author Jacqueline Wilson and an afterword by Professor Thomas Ruys Smith (University of East Anglia) which reintroduces readers to this much-loved book, examining the roots of its extraordinary longevity, the timelessness of Sewell’s powerful literary vision, and the ongoing necessity of her message of kindness and care to animals – and humans. Straight from the horse’s mouth, Anna Sewell’s beloved and pioneering work of animal literature is reborn in a new edition produced in collaboration with Redwings Horse Sanctuary. I hope you will fall into good hands but a horse never knows who may buy him, or who may drive him it is all a chance for us.” “There are a great many kinds of men there are good thoughtful men like our master, that any horse may be proud to serve but there are bad cruel men, who never ought to have a horse or dog to call their own. With a foreword by Jacqueline Wilson and edited with an afterword by Thomas Ruys Smith.
