Black Beauty - Anna Sewell

Black Beauty

The timeless adventure of a horse with an unbreakable spirit

Black Beauty is a handsome, sweet-tempered colt with a strong spirit. When his owners are forced to sell him, Black Beauty goes from a life of comfort and kindness to one of hard labour and cruelty. Black Beauty soon learns how unpredictable life can be with man as his master.

Black Beauty is a classic printed in many different editions. The one I read is different to the one I own now and is displayed. The copy of Black Beauty I read is very battered and is now in the posseson of my younger sister. The copy I own was given to me buy my God mother which also bought me the DVD for my 13th birthday. She inscribed the book:

To Jo & Stef
This is a lovely story. It inspires us all to treat animals with love and care. I enjoyed it and I hope both of you too also.
With Love,

Black Beauty was an interesting book to read as it was in the point of a horse. Never read anything like it or doubt I will, unless Shy Boy by Monty Roberts is in the point of a horse. This novel shows the path a horse may take. It shows all the uncertaintaries of being bought. "A horse never knows who may ride or drive him..."
