Black Beauty-Treasury of Illustrated Classics Storybook Collection

This is a well-made paperback book of the classic story, Black Beauty. The story is suitable for people from elementary school through adulthood. I've read it a few times over the years. It is sad for a little while but ends happily. I think everyone should read this classic.

Classic novel. Beautiful book

Absolutely love it. Bought it as a gift for My baby sister as this was one of my favorite books to read at her age. Love the art on the cover.

The story is timeless and the original illustrations add a nice touch, though the formatting could be a bit cleaner.

My kids love this book.

Affordable, no rips or tears or anything like that, only had like 2 scuffs but not super noticeable so thats good. I highly recommend this book😊

My granddaughter loves this book! I wish we had more books for youth with good values and stories. This is a story of good prevailing.

It was so much fun to revisit an old favorite from a very distant childhood. The book is the original and has not changed. I loved it as a child, and I can easily see the story told from the viewpoint of Black Beuty captured the heart of so many. But it was fascinating to read it now because the world has changed. Humanities attitudes about animal rights have grown. Re-reading the book is also a way to see the world from that earlier perspective and wonder at how we as a society have changed. I'm so glad Amazon provides an avenue to easily access the old classics for a very modest fee. Yes, I know they are in the public domain, and you can access them for free elsewhere. I prefer to spend 99 cents and have easy access. Well done. I loved the original illustrations and the story.

This is a well-written classic that I highly recommend, especially to animal lovers. I was disappointed, however, that the design on the cover is not sculpt-embossed as advertised, but just printed flat, as in a regular book. Nevertheless, this edition is still a welcome addition to my collection.

"Black Beauty", ou Beleza Negra, foi o primeiro livro de literatura que colocou em perspectiva os direitos dos animais. Neste livro, é narrada a trajetória de Beleza Negra, desde a separação de sua mãe, quando era apenas um potro, até o encontro de seu lar e família definitivos. São narrados os abusos que os cavalos sofriam na época. E, por conta da narrativa em primeira pessoa, sob o ponto de vista de Beleza Negra, os abusos são ainda mais perceptíveis e intensos. Apesar do sofrimento, há um final feliz e muito bonito. É uma ótima história para as crianças e, também, para os adultos que gostam dos animais. Ademais, a edição contém várias ilustrações em preto e branco e algumas coloridas. É costurado e encapado com tecido. Qualidade ótima da Everyman's Library, como sempre.

The book was perfect and my niece loves it. The delivery was efficient and on time. Thank you!

Just as expected a beautiful story book.

Tres beau livre - classique et parfait comme cadeau. Merci.
