Never before has this favorite been so handsomely, and
appropriately, illustrated. Keeping (d. 1988), a master draftsman
who illustrated 300 books, including all of Dickens, has provided a
bountiful number of drawings (some subtly touched with color),
combining piercing caricature, compassion, and a sure eye for the
horses' beauty, movement, and (at the worst of times) plight. A
masterpiece of illustration, capturing the book's drama and period
while rising nobly above its sentimentality. (Kirkus Reviews)
(Abridged). Suspenseful, deeply moving account of a horse's experiences at the hands of many owners, written as the animal's autobiography, and revealing as much about human conduct and the social ills of the time as it does about the treatment of animals. The most celebrated animal story of the 19th century and one of the most popular children's classics in the English language.
