Black Beauty was written in 1877 and was subtitled "The
Autobiography of a Horse." It quickly became known as the
best-loved animal story. In addition to this, the book achieved its
aim to "induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding treatment of
horses." The story was used first by George Angell, founder of the
Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and
then by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
At a time when horses were relied upon for transport, the horse was
the animal most likely to be abused. This book, by telling the
story through the eyes of the animal, changed people's
attitudes.This abridged version comes with the original
illustration on the front and with all the original illustrations
in black and white throughout the book.
