Black Beauty
by Anna Sewell
Adapted for Grade Four and above,
with notes, word meanings and comprehension questions.
Happy days before tragedy strikes,
a life of ill-treament and pain,
a future more awful than death…
One of the most popular novels of all time, Black Beauty is the story of a horse—told by the horse himself! Beauty is a fine black horse of high breeding. At first he has an ideal life, living on an English farm as a happy young horse with freedom to run and play, then as a well loved carriage-horse. But when tragedy strikes his owners he must be sold, and his life takes a turn for the worse.
Now Beauty must learn to bear all manner of hardships, from cruel owners to sad partings from friends; from pulling carriages with the reins strapped too tightly, to being a horse for hire and a cab-horse on the cold streets of London. Beauty faces an uncertain future, and he can only wonder with fear what will become of him. Read this moving story to find out what happens to Beauty in the end.
