Black Beauty

The Autobiography of a Horse

With fifty million copies sold, Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time. Its message is universal and timeless: animals will serve humans well if they are treated well. While promoting animal welfare, Black Beauty also teaches how to treat people with kindness, sympathy, and respect. The tale has been a favorite with animal-loving children for over a century. Black Beauty was recently listed at number 58 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.
