Black Beauty

The Autobiography of a Horse

De: Anna Sewell

Narrado por: Victoria McGee

With 50 million copies sold, Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time. While forthrightly teaching animal welfare, it also teaches how to treat people with kindness, sympathy, and respect. The story is narrated in the first "person" as an autobiographical memoir told by a horse named Black Beauty—including his carefree days as a colt on an English farm, his later difficult life pulling cabs in London, and his happy retirement in the country.

Awesome

It was great. I read it five times.
I didn't like the narrators pauses before the next chapter, because she stopped at the wrong times. Everything else was great.

Somewhat flat delivery

I found the narrator’s delivery a bit flat. Also the last chapter after the book is done begins to replay chapter one again.

Best book EVER!

I loved it from the very first sentence to the the closing chapter. A tale I re-read/listen to over and over again.
