Anna Sewell
Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails-in a gentle, 19th-century way-against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty's fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all.
書蟲聽過縮減版,這回聽的應該是完全版,只能再次感嘆馬生維艱,尤其是毫無自主性的馴養馬,最終給了happy ending已經是作者莫大的善意了。。然後順便去了解了下作者,也是悲傷的人生故事啊唉。。
