When I read The Eighty-Dollar Champion, last month, there was mention of the how and why Black Beauty came to be written. I decided it was finally time to read this book I've had since I was about 8.
so-soThis horse's story was so touching and inspiring, but the writing was repetitive and dull. Only the story and history kept me from DNFing. However, the long buried horse-girl in me is glad I read it 😊🐴

Started this #BookSpinBingo pick last night
My troubles are all over, and I am at home; and often before I am quite awake, I fancy I am still in the orchard at Birtwick, standing with my old friends under the Apple trees.

so-so3✨ Is it me or are horse and boy stories very similar? Sham the horse and Agba are pretty much attached at the hip. They go through many rich hands, and it goes through the life story of Sham with his boy. It ends really sadly. The illustrations are very beautiful. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper
