I really hope someone sees this.
I think Black Beauty is marketed as a children's book because Anna Sewell wrote it when she was very young. Like many, I rec'd a copy as a gift some time during elementary school and, loving horses, I read it eagerly.
WARNING: If you are an adult and are purchasing this for a young person who loves horses, you should read it yourself first. It deals with animal abuse and terrible cruelty. Anna wrote it to bring the issue out into the open, for which I praise her. However, I have never forgotten those scenes. It's been 40 years.
