sanjy 's review for:

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
4.0


"if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt" (176).


Somehow, I missed this book when I was of the ages it is normally recommended to; luckily such recommendations are not restrictions. The story is narrated by a horse named 'Black Beauty' who tells his life story in the hands of both kind people, and those who mistreat him. The character development in this book is stunning, as are the pictures (which I feel add nice touch in this edition).

4 stars - I really liked it
