Product Overview
Discover the classic story of a beautiful horse with an unbreakable spirit.
One of the best loved animal stories ever written, the dramatic and heartwarming Black Beauty is told by the magnificent horse itself, from idyllic days on a country squire's estate to a harsh fate as a London cab horse. No one can ever forget the gallant Black Beauty, a horse with a white star on its forehead and a heart of unyielding courage.
Filled with vivid anecdotes about animal intelligence, the novel derives a special magic from the author's love for all creatures, apparent on every page. But the book's lasting impact comes from its moving depiction of a human society struggling to find the goodness within itself, and its pleas for kindness to all creatures, great and small—a message so powerful that this favorite classic began a crusade for animal rights that continues today.
This hardcover copy of Black Beauty was printed in 1955 by Whitman Publishing. This book is in good condition, considering its age. There are a couple of spots of wear: the front endpaper is detached brom the cover in the lower corner, and the endpapers on both front and back are wearing at the point where they cover the spine. All in all it's a lovely vintage, collectible copy of a childhood favorite.
