From the back cover
A horse's life can be filled with love and tenderness. It can also be filled with meanness and cruelty. Black Beauty learns both sides of life in this classic tale by Anna Sewell. Told from a horse's point of view, Black Beauty's own story takes you into the mind and heart of a sensitive animal searching for love and understanding. From happy times as a young foal romping with his mother, Duchess, to harsh years as a cab horse in the city and finally to a peaceful old age, Black Beauty's life shows that horses have feelings too, and sometimes even know things people don't.

RELEASE NOTES:

Left in the Converse Lounge (Room SR-1) next to Room 29 on the 2nd floor of the Noble Residence Intermediate Care Facility (in the Swift Wing). The lounge is at the very end of a corridor, and when I looked out the window, I saw two fawns.
