My inner child was just as charmed reading 'Black Beauty' in my early 40s as I recall having been in my youth. Sewell gives such a genuine, honest voice to the noble creature that the reader is nearly convinced that the book is truly…

Black Beauty is a very touching story about a horse. It makes the reader care about horses and animals more after reading the book. I think anyone who is 10 and up would find this book interesting to read.

I loved this book so much! I love how it was from the point of view of Black Beauty himself. You can rarely find books like this one.

I loved this book because you can imagine the feelings of the horse and how many things it had to go through throughout his life.

My favourite part was when Black Beauty was born. The story is about Black Beauty's life.

It was AMAZING!!!!!! I loved the ending how Black Beauty had a good home and the writer didn't include the horse dying like some horse books do. I am So glad I read it. :)

I love most books about horses and this one is no exception, but the author definitely uses the book from an animal's perspective in a preachy sort of way. However, I recommend it. There's a lot of good stuff in it and it's really…

It's a bit pedantic, with no real plot; just a series of episodes in the life of one extremely unlucky horse. It's similar to Uncle Tom's Cabin: both were written by religious 19th century women to condemn a social ill. Both feature…

We have no right to distress any of God’s creatures without a very good reason; we call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. In her classic…

I have always enjoyed animal tales, and having read this at around 9 years old, I cried myself to sleep. Not because the story is sad or tragic, but beacause of its exceptional beauty that will strik anyone having read it.
