Black Beauty
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA horse tells his own life story, from a happy meadow in the country to the hard streets of London, pulling cabs. Anna Sewell wrote it so that people would treat horses more kindly, and it helped to change how they were treated. The language is plain and clear, and the feelings are strong.
