Black Beauty tells us about his life, his cruel and kind owners, the best way to treat horses and the relationship between man and beast. Black Beauty is narrated by the horse in question, Black Beauty in the form of a sort of autobiography. Black Beauty is a very simple yet incredibly powerful story of the relationship between human and animals, in this case horses. I had a very pleasant trip down memory lane re-reading this classic. I haven’t read the book for about 25 years. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a ploughed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master’s house, which stood by the roadside at the top of the meadow was a grove of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank.īlack Beauty was a favourite when I was eight or nine. Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep end. The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. A wonderful story that will remain with you and your child. This gentle book follows the life a well bred horse, from his early childhood in a pleasant meadow, through a myriad of owners-some kind and some cruel-until fate returns him to the meadow in which he was born.
