Following his mother's advice to always try his best, he enjoys the adventures of country and city life, makes new friends and suffers from the cruelty and greed of his human masters. Beauty faces each challenge with bravery and kindness, and then a chance encounter with an old friend brings him the greatest joy of all.Anna Sewell's spirited story of the life of a horse has captivated generations of readers and Beauty's 19th Century world is gorgeously brought to life by Christian Birmingham's vibrant artwork.
