A great book if it’s what you’re looking for! Sometimes it was kind of hard to follow, but mainly gave insight to how animals were treated back then.

I remember starting this when I was kid, as my grandparents collected these deals in the newspaper where each week you could use the token to collect one of their classics. It was such a cute promotion to get people reading, and I never for the life of me know what I did with that bag of classics!

Anyway, memory over, it was time to get back to Black Beauty and hear the story of a horse, from youth to his forever home.

This was such an emotional story (I don't know how I didn't cry!). Black Beauty had been through so many hands, some highlighting the cruelty of people, whilst others showing the kindness the world can offer. He experienced it all and really had my heart in a vice grip.

Ginger's story within in Black Beauty's account was heartbreaking. Treated roughly from the start and passed from cruelty to cruelty, my heart ached for her.

What a beautiful classic. I don't think I can eloquently present my thoughts for this one, but it was wonderful.
