About the Book
Black Beauty tells his own story—from idyllic days as a young colt on an English farm through years of service to many masters, some kind and others cruel. At Birtwick Park, he finds friendship with the spirited Ginger and wise Merrylegs under the care of the compassionate Squire Gordon. But when circumstances force his sale, Beauty endures the painful bearing rein, the brutal streets of London as a cab horse, and the whip of harsh masters. Through it all, he maintains his gentle nature while witnessing the tragic fates of horses less fortunate, until a final chance encounter brings hope for kindness and home.
A treasured edition for animal lovers, classic literature collectors, families seeking meaningful stories, and anyone wanting to experience the groundbreaking novel that changed how the world treats animals.
