'‘The Squire says you’re to be called Black Beauty,’ Joe said as he patted me gently on the nose.
'Join Black Beauty, a gentle young horse, as he grows up and makes his way through the world. As he moves from owner to owner, the hardworking Beauty travels from the country to the city and learns that masters can be kind or cruel, caring or thoughtless, wise or foolish. Will Beauty ever find the perfect home?'
