A great reading of this book

I like horses and the colour black and Black Beauty is my favourite book and one of the best novels by Anna Sewell. He is a beautiful black animal with a white star on his forehead and one white foot and in the novel of Black Beauty, Black Beauty's white foot was usually always on the back in the left and another second best of Black Beauty's white foot was on the front in the right and that's where I like to see Black Beauty's white foot and it's perfect for the best on the front in the right, and the two hind legs on the left and the right and that's how you like Black Beauty and the best choices. This book is an abridged version based on the story by Anna Sewell with six chapters and this book is about the young Black Beauty being sold and has no idea of the hardships that he is about to face. You must read in his story in his own words as Black Beauty overcomes danger and cruelty, working at everything from pulling cabs in a smog-filled city to carriages in the country and this is the best one to ever read and the illustrations are so beautiful as they can be and they are sure the best ones and this might be ever the best one to read again and live in for 280 times to join and be part of. My favorite character in this book is Joe Green, because at the end of Black Beauty, Joe becomes a man and one lucky day, he finds that horse he used to care for and gets excited when he said he had nearly killed him so many nearly ten years ago at Squire Gordon's farm after coming back from the Doctor's. The characters in this book of Black Beauty where Black Beauty has three white feet of one on the back in the left and the two on the front in the right and the left is just perfect for the one of this one of the my favourite four characters out of this book just to tell you of what clothes they would wear and they are John Manly the coachman in a white shirt, brown vest, brown riding jacket, grey pants and tall brown leather riding boots, then Joe Green the stable boy in a brown cap, white shirt, black vest, blue riding jacket, green riding pants and tall black leather riding boots, and then when Joe Green becomes a man and finds Beauty again, he would be in a plaid cap of green and black, white shirt, brown vest, brown riding pants and tall black leather riding boots, then Reuben Smith in a black top hat, blue scarf, white shirt, brown vest, red jacket, black leather gloves, green riding pants, tall black leather riding boots, and then Jerry Barker in a black derby hat, red scarf, pink shirt, plaid vest of green and black, long brown jacket, black leather gloves, grey pants and tall black leather riding boots and that's very perfect for some of the few favourite characters out of this book of Black Beauty so you'd know what their clothing would have been like. In this book, I think Sunday afternoons are pairing up horses to pull a carriage and during a journey, a horse tells the stor of her life and at sundown, you drive home. One stormy night John ru
