Whether he's working as a carriage horse on a grand country estate, or being ridden through the night on a lifesaving mission, Black Beauty's loyalty and sweet nature never fail. First published in 1877, Black Beauty has captured the hearts of readers for more than a century.
Black Beauty, a handsome well-born, well-bred horse of the era before automobiles, narrates the story. He is initially owned by kind masters but is sold to successively crueler owners. Eventually he collapses from overwork and ill treatment, but in the end he is sold to another kind owner and recovers.
