Black Beauty is a handsome, sweet-tempered colt with a strong spirit.
As a young colt he is free to gallop in the fresh green meadows with
his beloved mother, Duchess, and their kind master. But when his owners
are forced to sell him, Black Beauty goes from a life of comfort and
kindness to one of hard labour and cruelty. Bravely he works as hard as
he can, suffering at the hands of men who treat animals badly. But
Black Beauty has an unbreakable spirit and will, and is determined to
survive . . .
