The classic tale of this famous fictional horse is beautifully read by one of the best readers around, the English actor Nathaniel Parker. As with all of his readings, he brings dramatic skill, sensitivity, and vocal dexterity into play once again. A treat for both child and adult, and a great gift for a special occasion (or even 'just because').

I remember reading this as a child but had forgotten completely what it was all about, and found it in the library of included books with my subscription, so I decided why not listen to it. This is a very sweet story. Very simple and easy to listen to, and quite enjoyable. It's told from the perspective of the horses, which I had completely forgotten about. The narrator does a wonderful job. I highly recommend this to anyone just wanting to take a break from heavy reading and enjoy something short and light on the mind.

Oh, what glorious delight to have this classic tale reread to me by a masterful storyteller much like my beloved father 45 years ago. What a tender refreshment of a favored childhood memory.

A tearjerker and lovely story from the horse's point of view. Sam and Bridget made me think. At first I thought "Poor Sam. He didn't get a Sunday off" but then he had a choice. Bridget did not and it broke her. This was the saddest part of the book for me.

A beautiful story

Great example of making a point with a story rather than a lecture. Acting was great. British accents understandable by Americans.

well executed adaptation.

I read this as a Christian lad and had fond memories of it. It was a joy to listen to it and renew my acquaintance with Black Beauty?

So much fun to revisit as an adult!
