Description

A handsome horse with a glossy black coat and a pretty white star on his forehead, Black Beauty seems to lead a charmed life. Although his mother warns him that 'there are a great many kinds of men...good, thoughtful men, and bad, cruel men, who never ought to have a horse or a dog to call their own', he begins his life in a happy home, with a friendly groom to look after him and plenty to eat.
However, when a change of circumstances means that he is sold, he discovers the truth of his mother's words.
