I got this book as a prize in a debate competition in my school . I enjoyed reading this book .
Now my son has this book in his syllabus and he also likes this story too much .
This book was a Best seller of its time .Its written by Anna Sewell .
It was like by animal activist and after reading this book people starting understanding animals condition .
The main character in this story is Darkie - a black horse, so the story is named as Black Beauty .
Darkie narrates his story starting from his days as a colt in an English farm with his mother, then pulling cabs in London where he tastes the cruelity of humans, then his retirement days in a country where is taken proper care by his masters.
Each chapter tells about an incident in Darkie's life containing a lesson on kindness and sympathy.
So this book gives us a lesson to be kind with animals and to understand their pain and problems .
This book is one of its kind which teaches us to be kind to animals and to understand that they are also living things like us, they have emotions, feelings and pain .We should not use animals only to serve us but we should take care of them and treat them nicely.
