Anna Sewell’s, Black Beauty, a great classic is an engaging story told from the perspective of a horse, tracing his journey from birth to old age. It is a also a story fraught with pain, suffering, happiness, learning, a handful of masters (all kinds) and a few nostalgic moments.
This book is also about the cruelty meted out to animals at a time, when the concepts of animal rights and animal welfare were unheard of. Supported by excellent illustrations, this touching ‘autobiography of a horse will be loved by those interested in classics
