Black Beauty by Anna Sewell is a fictional 'autobiography' of a talking horse. It was published in 1877 and remains a favorite children's book to this day. The novel traces the life and adventures of Black Beauty, a horse in 19th Century England. Unlike animal stories that describe a child's interaction with an animal, the novel is narrated from the animal's point of view. One of the most liked novels in the world. Now abridged and illustrated for young readers.
