Black Beauty, published as a part of the Ladybird Classics series, is a perfect first illustrated introduction to the classic horse story for children. Summary of the Book This edition of Black Beauty has been sensitively abridged and retold to make it suitable for sharing with young children, whilst retaining all the important aspects of the story. It describes Black Beauty's friendship with Ginger, his treatment at the hands of his owners, and has a captivating historical detail about how horses had several different uses in the days before cars were invented. The book contains detailed full-colour illustrations throughout, which bring this classic tale to life. About Ladybird Books Ladybird Books is a British publishing company which caters to children.
