One of the most celebrated and enduringly popular animal stories, Black Beauty was originally written as an appeal for humane treatment of horses. It is a compelling tale that revolves around a handsome and sweet-tempered horse. As from the beginning Black Beauty was recognised as an extraordinary horse who was meek but spirited, swift yet steady and whose gentle nature triumphs over abuse and misfortune. Until the day when he is sold, his life changes immeasurably and he finally sees the truth in his mother's words. As he moves from master to master, Beauty's adventures will captivate readers with magic and excitement that made the original story a beloved favourite.
