Summary

Black Beauty (1877) is not just the story of an animal, but a moving account of a life marked by tenderness, hardship, and hope. Told from the perspective of the horse himself, this timeless work transports us to 19th-century England, where the fate of a noble creature can change with every new hand that guides him.

From a carefree youth in green pastures to the noisy streets of London, Beauty endures both human kindness and cruelty with dignity and courage. Anna Sewell wrote this book as a plea against animal mistreatment and a powerful defense of compassion, leaving behind a legacy that has touched millions of hearts around the world.

    Here is one of twelve magnificent stories, originally part of The John Cheever Audio Collection, in which John Cheever celebrates—with unequaled grace and tenderness—the deepest feelings we have. 
As Cheever writes in his preface, "These stories seem at times to be stories of a long-lost world when the city of New York was still filled with a river light, when you heard the Benny Goodman quartets from a radio in the corner stationery store, and when almost everybody wore a hat."
