Black beauty, [graphic novel] [rare book]

From the beginning, Black Beauty was recognized as an extraordinary horse; one who was gentle but spirited, swift yet steady and a fit- ting companion for man, woman, and child. But when his kind owners are forced to sell him, Black Beauty finds himself going from a happy life, filled with rolling pastures and open spaces, to one of misery, surrounded by cobblestones and narrow streets. Yet, inspired by his mother's advice, Black Beauty triumphs over adversities that would break any other horse.

Set in a world where animals are revealed to be more humane than their masters, this is a moving graphic novel adaptation of the story that forever changed mankind's treatment of animals.
