BOOK REVIEW: Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

 


Taking place in the 19th century, when beasts of burden were the primary means of short distance transportation, this follows a horse through his life and the many masters that he is owned by.

Though primarily about a horse, this also teaches lessons on love, kindness, and respect in the way that all creatures are treated. Written at the end of the author's life, it has become a classic, not only for its lovely story but also as a great influence in the movement against cruelty to animals. Anyone who loves horses, or just animals in general, will want to read this one.
