Desperately needs post-edting

Any additional comments?

Part 3 Chapter 24 needs post-editing - it has all of Batchelor's mistakes still in it!

I felt that the narration of this book was poor and a little depressing for a story that in places is also very sad.

Good! One chapter unedited!

Enjoyable, old fashioned but charming reader! But someone forgot to edit chapter 44! Most odd.

Black Beauty

it is thanks to this book that I have my great love of horses. it is just a wonderful book! and unfortunately the lessons herein still need to be applied in today's society. kindness patients and love go along way with a horse. a heartbreakingly beautiful read!
