Classic Starts®: Black Beauty 

Following Sterlings spectacularly successful launch of its childrens 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 worlds 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 Beautys 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.
