besides telling me about my great uncle on the crucial part, he played in the enormous success of Black Beauty and Blue, spent much time talking about the book's author. It was a sad story. Anna Sewell came from Quaker stock. At the age of 11. She suffered a curious accident. Returning from school, she was caught in a heavy rainstorm and, having no umbrella, ran home. The road sloped steeply in front of her gate, and just as she reached the gate, she slipped and fell. It was a heavy fall, and she badly injured her ankle, although at first the accident was regarded as just a bad sprain, it was not well treated. It made her lame not just in one leg but also in the other. And from that time on, she not only never walked without difficulty and pain, she could not even stand without leaning on something for support, let alone walk any distance as a result of her disability. Since she was so limited and walking, her early life revolved around either riding a horse when her legs permitted it or driving one. As a child driver, she was known as a very good whip an expression that in her case was an irony in the extreme because not only did she never use a whip in her life, most of the time she did not even appear to use the reins. She relied instead on her voice.
