From the meadow of his youth to London's crowded, frosty streets, Black Beauty tells the story of his life under many masters in Victorian England, among them the kind Squire Gordon, the principled Jeremiah Barker, and the exploitive Nicholas Skinner. Beauty bears joy and hardship with grace no matter the circumstance, heeding his mother's advice to be good, gentle, and hardworking—always.
I think this was quite a cute children's story to open our eyes that horses are also creatures with feelings, and we should recognise them and be not be cruel to them. I have to say I am not a horse person. That is why this maybe wasn't for me, but I think it is a cute read.
