* A horse of nineteenth century England tells his life story from his early home through many masters and experiences, both good and bad.
* About the author Anna Sewell was a kind and generous woman whose great love for horses and desire to see them better treated resulted in the most celebrated animal story of the nineteenth century. Born into a strict Quaker family who lived at Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, she was brought up to believe in the importance of self-reliance, moral responsibility and 'tender consideration for the Creatures of God'. From an early age she developed a strong love of animals and abhorred any form of cruelty towards them. She seemed to have a natural affinity with horses, and the great knowledge of horsemanship evident in Black Beauty was born from a lifetime's experience.

I enjoyed this story much more that I thought I would. It read much easier than most books from a foreign country and almost a century and a half old.
Very emotional book. I dont like bad behavior to horse , but are good things in the book too.
It was a bit difficult for me to read because is sadness here. Still, I recommend the book to anyone who likes horses
