Product description
Black Beauty is a handsome, sweet-tempered colt with a strong spirit. As a young colt he is free to gallop in the fresh green meadows with his beloved mother, Duchess, and their kind master. But when his owners are forced to sell him, Black Beauty goes from a life of comfort and kindness to one of hard labour and cruelty. Bravely he works as hard as he can, suffering at the hands of men who treat him badly. But Black Beauty has an unbreakable spirit and will, and is determined to survive… This much-loved classic tale of a horse’s life in Victorian London is now introduced by Carnegie-winning author Meg Rosof.

on 4 March 2013I absolutely loved this book! It’s great how it was an autobiography of a horse. It’s a wonderful story, I really recommend it.

on 8 October 2012this book is all about the many lives of one horse, passed from owner to owner. Black Beauty was written a long time ago, and in an old-fashioned language but the story itself is beautiful. I would recommend this to readers who love animals, and are strong readers, as the words are sometimes tricky to understand. A brilliant book through and through.

on 1 March 2012This book wasn’t a book i imedietly wanted to read many people had to persuade me before i would pick it up, yet after a while i really did get into as it takes you through the story of a kind and gentle horse it slightly grips you. I found you want to read it however you have to take your time to read it.
Hope You Enjoy Black Beauty!
p.s Sorryabout the spelling mistakes

on 24 February 2011I really enjoyed reading this! Really great idea that it’s from the horses perspective. Everyone should read this so that cruelty to animals stops because there were some really sad bits in the book, and nothing should ever have to go through that. If you do not buy this book or borrow it from a library you are a fool! Absolutely loved it!

on 9 September 2009This is by far one of my best books. The love and loss that the horse goes through is unreal. He puts up with so much because of what his mother told him. For horse lovers everywhere i recommend this book. I have seen the movie so many times :D
