Born in a sunlit meadow, a gentle black colt with a white star on his forehead knows only kindness. But life rarely stays gentle for a horse. Sold from master to master, Black Beauty finds himself pulling a London cab through freezing streets, driven past endurance, and watching old friends broken by cruelty and neglect.
Told in his own unforgettable voice, Anna Sewell�s beloved 1877 classic follows one horse through joy, hardship, loss, and the rare moments of compassion that change everything. Along the way, he meets proud, fiery Ginger, plucky little Merrylegs, and humans both heartless and kind.
More than a story of one horse, Black Beauty is a timeless plea for empathy, a sharp look at Victorian society, and a book that helped change how the world treats animals. Tender, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful, it will move readers of every age, and linger long after the final page.
