Description
Black Beauty tells the story of the horse’s own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow, to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman, to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails—in a gentle, nineteenth-century manner—against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty’s fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. 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.

Black Beauty is a sad story. Written from the horses perspective, you see all of the hardships that horses had to go through. Personally I thought the concept of this book was clever, to flip the perspective. However, I just wasn't a fan. There was just something that didn't do it for me.
