Book Pin: Black Beauty

This Victorian horse's coming-of-age tale is the only novel Anna Sewell ever wrote. She died just five months later, but not before seeing it become a bestseller that helped change the loves of working animals for the better.

Based on an original drawing by Jane Mount. She says: "With the Book Pins, I'm trying to capture the essence of a book in less than an inch square."

This badge is a hard enamel lapel pin with raised gold-plated outlines. It's about 1 inch tall by 0.75 inches wide, and attaches to your clothing with a black rubber clutch. It ships pinned to a small cardboard plaque in a cellophane envelope.
