DESCRIPTION:
But Black Beauty has an unbreakable spirit and will, and is determined to survive With a wonderful introduction by award-winning author Meg Rosoff, Black Beauty is one of the twenty best-loved classic stories being launched in the newly branded Puffin Classics series in March 2015.. Bravely he works as hard as he can, suffering at the hands of men who treat animals badly. Black Beauty is a handsome, sweet-tempered colt with a strong spirit.

As a young colt he is free to gallop in the fresh green meadows with his beloved mother, Duchess, and their kind master
Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all.

I think I've read this book over 50 times in my life, it never gets old. I love how they try to put into words what black Beauty thinks. Im pretty sure that's why I do with all my own animals.

The tale is of a kind and good natured horse that lives through being bought and sold to good and some bad owners. The horse describes life through these times and it makes the reader gain respect for all living creatures. The importance of kindness to those that have no voice.
