Black Beauty (GN)

A Triumph of Will

From the beginning, Black Beauty was recognized as an extraordinary horse; one who was gentle but spirited, swift yet steady, and a fitting companion for man, woman, and child. But when his kind owners are forced to sell him, Black Beauty finds himself going from a happy life, filled with rolling pastures and open spaces, to one of misery, surrounded by cobblestones and narrow streets. Yet, inspired by his mother's advice, Black Beauty triumps over adversties that would break any other horse.
