As a child I had my mother's beautiful hardback copy of this book, I can still remember the illustration on the front. It didn't have quite the same emotional edge, reading on my phone, but it is still a sweet little book.
Written from Beauty's perspective, it is the ups and downs of a horse's life. Barely buried beneath are lessons still relevant today - be kind to man and beast, be honest, work hard, be selfless, money does not maketh the man, be kind, be kind, be kind.
