Black Beauty
Black Beauty | Pauline Francis
9 posts | 18 read | 1 to read
Black Beauty tells the story of a working horse in Victorian England who has to adapt to life with a series of different masters and grooms, some of them kindly but many of them cruel or thoughtless. He survives flood, fire and fever until he feels ready to die, but then he is taken to yet another horse sale... Essential Classics is a wonderful new series that offers a quick way into a range of exciting stories. Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original.

This was really enjoyable! A good perspective on caring for horses and what it means about you as a human when you do or don‘t take an animal‘s safety, comfort, and happiness into consideration. Also makes you think about whether it‘s right to use horses for work or not.
