One of the best-loved children classic. A moving tale of the hardships
of being an animal. This edition is beautifully illustrated by Paul
Howard and includes and extra section for young readers.
After a wonderful early life as a young colt on Farmer Gray's meadows,
the stallion Black Beauty is sold to Squire Gordon of Birtwick Hall and
joins the gentleman's stables. While his existence is no longer as
carefree as before and he has to be trained by humans, he enjoys the
company of the other horses there, such as the fiery Ginger and the kind
Merrylegs.
Unfortunately one day he is sold on to new owners, and a new chapter
opens in his life, full of uncertainty, hardship and cruelty. Will Black
Beauty ever make it back home, or reconnect with the people and horses
that cared about him?
