Summary

Black Beauty has been one of the world's favorite animal stories for over one hundred years. Follow Black Beauty as he experiences the joys of kind caretakers, and the hardship of harsh treatment in industrial-era England.

This classic focuses on compassion for those less powerful and tenderness toward all of God's creations. As one character in Black Beauty says, "If we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt."
