Black Beauty is a well-born colt living in a pleasant meadow with an elegant carriage horse. But fortune changes, and he experiences both gentle and cruel masters as he travels through Victorian London.
Full Synopsis
Every child loves a story about a horse, and Black Beauty remains one of the finest, most touching ever written. Set in Victorian London, the novel follows the shifting fortunes of a horse as he moves from owner to owner. Narrated by the noble Black Beauty himself, the tale offers an animal's perspective of the world and highlights the thoughtless, even cruel treatment animals endured during that period.
