Throwback Thursday: Black Beauty

Black Beauty.jpgFor this Throwback Thursday I recommend: Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.

This story, told from the animal’s perspective, captures the struggles and triumphs of this magnificent creature from his early days as a free colt to an owned creature poorly treated by evil men.

First published in 1877, this classic tale told from the point of view of the horse really captures your attention. I loved horses as a kid and read every book I could find about them. This story is great for the horse lovers and anyone who enjoyed Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry or any of her other horse stories. This story was also adapted into two great movies, one from 1994 (my personal favorite) and one from 2014!

You can find Black Beauty in the Juvenile Fiction section at J SEWELL.
