Description
Following Sterling's spectacularly successful
launch of its children's classic novels (240,000 books in print to date),comes
a dazzling new series: Classic Starts. The stories are abridged; the quality is
complete. Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with
the respect they deserve--all at an incomparable price.
Black Beauty is the classic horse story, a
beautiful and touching tale told by the title character himself. Set in
Victorian London, it follows Beauty's life and changing fortunes as he moves
from owner to owner. As the horse encounters new experiences and new friends
who reveal their own histories, the story quietly paints a fascinating portrait
of how animals were treated during that era.
