BLACK BEAUTY er den fantastiske historie om hesten Black Beauty, som vi følger gennem hele livet: Fra den sorgløse opvækst på landet sammen med sin mor, over det hårde liv i Londons gader som arbejdshest, til en lykkelig tilværelse hos sin nye familie i den idylliske engelske countryside. BLACK BEAUTY er fortalt ud fra hestens synsvinkel, og vi kommer med på en spændende rejse, der kaster lys over menneskets gode og dårlige sider. Bogen fortæller om arbejdsforhold og samfundsstrukturer i 1800-tallets England, og historien er en enestående fortælling om respekt, sympati og næstekærlighed.Anna Sewell (1820-1878) var engelsk forfatter og kvinden bag en af de bedst sælgende bøger nogensinde, BLACK BEAUTY. BLACK BEAUTY var oprindelig skrevet som et værk til mennesker, der arbejdede med heste, og bogen lægger i høj grad vægt på dyrevelfærd og respekten for både mennesker og dyr. Anna Sewell skrev bogen, mens hun var sengeliggende efter længere tids sygdom, og hun døde kun fem måneder efter bogens udgivelse. Selvom Anna Sewell ikke oprindeligt skrev BLACK BEAUTY til et børnepublikum, regnes bogen i dag som en klassiker inden for børne- og ungdomslitteraturen.

But this easy life comes to an end when Beauty is sold and goes from farm to inn to cabhorse in London, enduring rough treatment from foolish and careless masters. Beauty remains faithful, hardworking, and full of spirit despite his trials, and through him we learn that all horses and humans alike deserve to be treated with kindness.

Black Beauty was written in 1877 and was subtitled "The Autobiography of a Horse". It quickly became known as the best-loved animal story. In addition to this, the book achieved its aim to "induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding treatment of horses". The story was used first by George Angell, founder of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and then by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. At a time when horses were relied upon for transport, the horse was the animal most likely to be abused. This book, by telling the story through the eyes of the animal, changed people's attitudes.This abridged version comes with the original illustration on the front and with all the original illustrations in black and white throughout the book.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep end. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master's house, which stood by the roadside; at the top of the meadow was a grove of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank. While I was young I lived upon my mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold we had a nice warm shed near the grove.
