In the English countryside (1880) Squire Wendon gives his young, high-spirited daughter Anne a foal, Black Beauty, and the horse becomes the center of her attention.
An abridged version of Anna Sewell's classic story in which a horse in nineteenth-century England recounts his experiences with both good and bad masters. Illustrated notes throughout the text explain the historical background of the story.
Black Beauty tells the story of his life; all about his early home, his 'breaking in' and how he saved his master's life, the horse fair, his adventures in London and his experiences with his mates, Ginger, Merrylegs and Captain, the old war-horse.
