1. Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse
(Unabridged)
An amazingly fast and strong but gentle thoroughbred, Black Beauty peacefully
gallops across open meadows, carrying adoring children through the English
countryside. But then a tragic accident forces his owner to sell him, and Black Beauty
enters a world where horses are treated with bitter violence. Longing for his joyful
youth on his original master's farm, Black Beauty faces horrible, demeaning abuse but
never loses his spirit - or his great hope that he'll find happiness again. Originally
written in 1877 as a protest against cruelty to animals, Anna Sewell's Black Beauty
reminds readers that horses, like all living creatures, deserve to be treated with love
and kindness. Today, Black Beauty remains one of the most beloved classics of
children's literature, touching the hearts of everyone who meets the unforgettable
horse.
