About this book

Narrated by the horse himself, this beloved classic follows the gentle Black Beauty from an idyllic colthood through a hard working life as a carriage and cab horse in Victorian England, passing between owners cruel and kind. Written to encourage the humane treatment of animals, Sewell's only novel opened readers' eyes to the suffering of working horses and helped bring real reforms. Tender, moving, and quietly powerful, it has never gone out of print and remains one of the best-loved animal stories ever written. A landmark of compassion, Black Beauty teaches kindness through the eyes of a noble creature who asks only for gentleness and understanding.
