Anna Sewells Black Beauty is a timeless classic that offers a unique perspective on animal welfare and the treatment of horses in Victorian England. Through the eyes of the titular horse, readers are taken on a journey filled with both compassion and cruelty, shedding light on the harsh realities faced by working animals during that era. Sewells narrative style is both poignant and gripping, as she weaves together themes of empathy, kindness, and the importance of treating all living beings with respect. The original illustrations included in this edition enhance the storytelling, bringing the characters and settings to life in vivid detail. Sewells work stands as a powerful piece of literature that continues to resonate with readers of all ages, emphasizing the significance of compassion and understanding in our treatment of animals. I recommend Black Beauty to those interested in exploring the intersection of animal rights and literature, as well as to anyone seeking a moving and thought-provoking read.

Traces the history of the breed, describes breed standards, discusses a Black Russian terriers care and grooming requirements, and includes information on training.
