"You saved your mistress's life, Beauty! Yes, you saved her life" Black Beauty is the prettiest young horse in the meadows, and spends many happy days under the apple trees with his friends Ginger and Merrylegs. But this easy life comes to an end when Beauty is sold and goes from farm to inn to cabhorse in London, enduring rough treatment from foolish and careless masters. Beauty remains faithful, hardworking and full of spirit despite his trials, and through him we learn that all horses and humans alike deserve to be treated with kindness. BACKSTORY: Find out about the unusual author and learn some horsey vocabulary.

As a young colt, Black Beauty has a carefree life, looked after by an attentive mother and a kindly master. But when a boy throws stones at the horses just for fun, it shows him that not all people treat animals well. “There are bad, cruel men,” warns his mother, “who never ought to have a horse or dog to call their own”. Black Beauty discovers the truth of those words as he passes from owner to owner, especially when his knees are scarred in a fall and he has to be sold as a workhorse.
