Gripping yet soothing
This beautiful classic is beautifully read: the voice of the reader is pleasant. The story is exciting yet soothing. Listening to it was the perfect inducement to getting on with some awful chore like tidying or ironing. Whatever the job, it was done in a flash, my attention held by the clear and satisfying unfolding of the story. I also learned about the treatment of horses, something to discuss with my horse-mad granddaughter.

Black Beauty
I have loved this book since I was a small child. This audio version is beautifully done. The narrator is good and keeps the flow of the book well without being monotonous and his diction is fluid. I would recommend this version to anyone.

Lovable
What a sweet, lovable story. I fell in love with the horse and got a little frustrated about how badly the horses were being used. Definitely a book to read to my Daughter.

A Must Listen for Horse Lovers
Being a book written in 1877, you may think that a lot of the points here are dated and no longer applicable. This is my first ever read/listen to this book and I’m floored at how relevant it still is today, 144 years after publication.
Anna Sewall did a fantastic job of humanising these wonderful animals and expressing how our mistreatment hurts, harms and takes advantage of these very giving animals. Though times have changed, the main issues and themes within this book remain. There is wonderful insight into the issues of the time and the work horses were expected to perform, and Anna does a fantastic job in provoking emotion from the reader/listener.
It’s a must-have for those interested in horses and hopefully it can help garner compassion in the new generations of people in the equestrian industry.
Nathaniel Parker was an excellent narrator for this work and I thoroughly enjoyed his work in performing this great story.

Simply one of the best
I've listened to this audiobook numerous times and will continue to do so. It's always a pleasure and therapeutic listening to it. The story and the narration are on point. I can never get tired listening to it over and over again.
