I love animals more than humans may be that's the reason why I like this book most.
The writer Anne Sewell wrote this book in a very simple language. The story of the book revolves around a talking black horse who was telling it's own biography of how it remains loyal to its masters although some of them were very cruel to treat him. It tells every stage of a horse life from its childhood to its training as a mature horse.
Read the book to see how black beauty enjoys the many kindness and survives the terrible mistreatment, Although this book is sad, I don't think you will find it sad to read. Black Beauty is a very understanding and forgiving horse and it does all end happily ever .
And as Shakespeare said "ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL ".
This book also encourages better treatment of animals at the hands of otherwise cruel masters. Not only does this book teach us animal welfare, it also tells how to deal with people with sympathy, respect and kindness
