Description

Black Beauty is the name of a handsome black
horse which narrates his story right from his
childhood to the stage of his being grown up.
The story begins with his carefree days as a colt on
an English farm. As he grows up a little bit, he starts
pulling cabs in London for wealthy people. When he
breaks his knees, i.e. develops scars on his knees after
a bad fall, he is no longer considered presentable
enough and is put to much harder work. This is the
worst experience he has had.
During the course of his life, he meets with many
hardships and troubles. He recounts his tales of
cruelty and kindness.
Each chapter recounts an incident in Black
Beauty’s life. He passes through the hands of a series
of owners, some cruel and some kind. But he always
tries his level best to serve humans better even in
adverse circumstances.
