Black Beauty
Anna Sewell's 1877 novel, told in the horse's own voice. Meadows, orchards, hard roads and kind hands, all at a walking pace.
Retold for sleep from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, first published in 1877 and long out of copyright. The story is Sewell's; every sentence here is our own.
Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness, a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
