Black Beauty

Add Black Beauty to Your Wish List

Black Beauty is the classic book for horse lovers. It tells the story of a horse who goes through many difficulties in life...cruel owners, a fire, as well as kindness from others. It's such a beautiful book.

What you may not know is that it was written 140 years ago! The author Anna Sewell was an invalid and it was the only novel she ever wrote. She died five months after it was published. Crippled from childhood, Anna loved horses and her book helped people understand how to be kind to these beautiful creatures.

I can't think of any horse book that has been so popular since.

This is a classic story written by Anna Sewell in her 50's while she was housebound. It is from the view of Black Beauty and starts with his very first memory and follows him through frightening, sorrowful and joyful moments all through his life until he reaches his final destination.

It was written when horses were very ill treated and was meant to increase peoples' awareness of these creatures. It is very well written and exciting and, my personal opinion, captures the views of the world from a horse's eyes quite perfectly.

Note from Syd's mom: I don't know who wrote this review, but it's beautiful! Good job!

Black Beauty is a gentle stallion with good discipline. But his life is NOT going to be easy. He will endure the meanest and cruelest before it gets better as he travels to different homes and experiences the nice, and the mean.

This book teaches us about what troubles a horse has as it takes you through the life of a gentle horse called Black Beauty. The cruel things and the sad and tragic things that come with every chapter will make you not want to put the book down; and toward the end you will wonder... will it have a happy ending?

Black Beauty is a BRILLIANT book. It is about a yearling who was born at a beautiful farm and then gets sold so many times in his life. He had kind,caring owners and mean,brutal owners. It is set in London in the eighteen hundreds and is a must for any horse crazy kid.
