Black Beauty

"Black Beauty is a horse with a glossy coat and a white star on his forehead. Life in the field with his mother is idyllic, but when beauty is sold to a new owner he embarks on a dramatic journey that will take him from the stables of the rich to the impoverished streets of Victorian London. One of the best-selling books of all time, Anna Sewell's moving story of a beautiful black horse will delight animal lovers of all ages. This edition also contains illustrations by the renowned artist, Cecil Aldin." -- Page 4 of cover.
