Show Notes

<div>My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the journalist and author Celia Brayfield whose new book <em>Writing Black Beauty: Anna Sewell and the story of animal rights, </em>takes us back to the 19th century. Celia describes how Anna Sewell's writing of the <em>Black Beauty</em> book ultimately led to the kinder treatment of horses, and we both recall fondly the popular TV adaptation with its soaringly emotive theme tune.</div> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
