A truly timeless adventure of a horse with an unbreakable spirit and a bond that eventually goes almost full circle. Animal lovers will love the story of Black Beauty even though the tears will be almost as frequent as the smiles. An essential read. This is the paperback edition but if you’re looking for a gift purchase then look no further than the Everyman’s Library edition. We also rate very highly a new edition from Oxford Children’s Books.
Black Beauty is a horse with a glossy coat and a white star on his forehead. Life in the field with his mother is idyllic, but when Beauty is sold to a new owner he embarks on a dramatic journey that will take him from the stables of the rich to the impoverished streets of Victorian London.
One of the best-selling books of all time, Anna Sewell's moving story of a beautiful black horse will delight animal lovers of all ages. This edition also contains illustrations by the renowned artist, Cecil Aldin.
