My inner child was just as charmed reading 'Black Beauty' in my early 40s as I recall having been in my youth. Sewell gives such a genuine, honest voice to the noble creature that the reader is nearly convinced that the book is truly…

Black Beauty is a very touching story about a horse. It makes the reader care about horses and animals more after reading the book. I think anyone who is 10 and up would find this book interesting to read.

It was AMAZING!!!!!! I loved the ending how Black Beauty had a good home and the writer didn't include the horse dying like some horse books do. I am So glad I read it. :)

I love most books about horses and this one is no exception, but the author definitely uses the book from an animal's perspective in a preachy sort of way. However, I recommend it. There's a lot of good stuff in it and it's really…

It's a bit pedantic, with no real plot; just a series of episodes in the life of one extremely unlucky horse. It's similar to Uncle Tom's Cabin: both were written by religious 19th century women to condemn a social ill. Both feature…

We have no right to distress any of God’s creatures without a very good reason; we call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.
In her classic…

I have always enjoyed animal tales, and having read this at around 9 years old, I cried myself to sleep. Not because the story is sad or tragic, but beacause of its exceptional beauty that will strik anyone having read it.
