Black Beauty

by Anna Sewell
Abridged by Benedict Flynn

Read by Jonathan Keeble

Produced by Nicolas Soames

Black Beauty, the friendly, patient stallion with a white blaze upon his forehead, is one of the most familiar figures in children’s literature. After the first lively carefree years in the fields, Black Beauty learns to accept the saddle and bridle and the rule of his masters. But a succession of misfortunes shows that the life of a horse can be harsh and painful.

This touching portrait, full of drama and sadness, is as moving now as when it was first written in 1877.

Music: Vaughan Williams, Humperdinck, Sullivan
