Black Beauty : Chiltern Edition

Part of the Chiltern Classics rangeBlack Beauty is a handsome, well-bred colt, urged by his mother to work hard, serve his masters obediently and never to bite or kick. Such restraint is sorely tested when Beauty is sold to a succession of owners who ill-treat him. Told from Black Beauty’s perspective, Anna Sewell’s much-loved story was written to promote kind, sympathetic treatment of horses, a runaway success following its publication in 1877.
