It is a moralistic tale of the life of the horse related in the form of an autobiography, describing the world through the eyes of the creature. In taking this anthropomorphic approach, the author Anna Sewell broke new literary ground and her effective storytelling ability makes it very easy for the reader to accept the premise that a horse is recounting the exploits in the narrative. The gentle thoroughbred, Black Beauty, is raised with care and is treated well until a vicious groom injures him. The damaged horse is then sold to various masters at whose hands he experiences cruelty and neglect. After many unpleasant episodes, including one where he becomes a painfully overworked cab horse in London, Black Beauty finally canters towards a happy ending.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese compact hardback books are cloth-bound, with embossed gold lettering to enhance their beautiful, bespoke cover illustrations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted and bound in Great Britain on FSC paper, supporting responsible forestry. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReading ages 8+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e288 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eDimensions: 5 x 7\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHardcover Children's Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wordsworth Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51951971893569,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/8299\/9873\/files\/blackbeauty_155e394d-8eb0-44a3-a45a-1c3b89ef62f9.webp?v=1783543620","url":"https:\/\/treehollowtoys.com\/products\/black-beauty-collectors-edition-hardcover-book","provider":"Tree Hollow Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
