Light, Linda Bowser, and David Widger "Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is told from the perspective of a horse named Black Beauty, who recounts his experiences growing up on a farm, the trials he faces as he is sold into various homes, and the treatment he receives from different owners. The narrative touches on themes of animal welfare, kindness to creatures, and the importance of humane treatment. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Black Beauty's early life in a peaceful meadow, where he lives with his mother, Duchess. He is fondly raised by a kind master and learns valuable lessons about good behavior from his mother. As he matures, the story unfolds to include his experiences with other horses, the harsh realities of training and harnessing, and the contrasting environments in which he lives – some nurturing, and others cruel. The opening chapters set the tone for a deeper exploration of social issues regarding the treatment of horses and the relationships they develop with humans.
