A gentle, stunning creature thrust into a harsh world. When a horse gains masters both kind and cruel, can he survive to find green pastures again?
Beauty begins life as a foal on an idyllic, loving farm. And when he’s sold to a local nobleman, he easily makes friends and does himself proud by rescuing his kindhearted owner and the coachman from drowning. But the night he races to the doctor to save his mistress, he’s tended to by untrained hands and falls gravely ill.
After a tense recovery, Beauty is sad to learn the people he trusts are moving abroad and anxiously awaits purchase by a third family. And as his uncertain journey takes him from one home to another, he’s caught in a downward spiral towards negligent treatment and backbreaking work.
Despite the hardships, can this once beautiful thoroughbred recapture peace within his majestic heart?
In this lovely updated edition of a cherished children’s novel, Leonora Teale has thoughtfully adapted author Anna Sewell’s story for a modern audience.
