Time and Tide Museum: Black Beauty, Anna Sewell and Great Yarmouth

 I'm giving a talk about Mary and Anna Sewell on Friday January 17th at the Time and Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth:

Mary Sewell

During the research that I've been doing on Black Beauty for my project with Redwings Horse Sanctuary, I became so captivated by the neglected life and work of Anna Sewell's mother, Mary, that I have collected some of her poetry in a new edition. Homely Ballads and Stories in Verse: The Poetry of Mary Sewell is the first modern collection of her work. Mary was one of the biggest-selling poets of the Victorian era and it's a privilege to be able to be bring this gathering of her most popular verses back to life. Now available!
