From the meadow of his youth to the crowded, frosty streets of London, Black Beauty tells the story of his life under many masters in Victorian England, among them the kind Squire Gordon, the principled Jeremiah Barker, and the exploitive Nicholas Skinner. No matter the circumstance, Beauty bears joy and hardship with grace, heeding his mother's advice to be good, gentle, and hardworking - always.

At turns suspenseful, heartwarming, and heartbreaking, Black Beauty is a masterful tale promoting equality, compassion, and strength of character - and remains a treasured classic for animal lovers of all ages.

This book is truly a classic. It shows the cruelty we humans give these
poor animals. Also, the people Beauty works for who have common sense and kindness in their hearts always explain why they live the way they do to others based on the Bible. I would be very glad if you tried it.
The narrator has a wonderful accent.

Best book ever!
