(4) K-3 Retold by Ruth Brown. Illustrated by Ruth Brown. Brown's greatly abridged retelling of Sewell's tale maintains the horse's famous first-person narration and the major events of his life, but the deep emotional tug of the original book is lessened. The power of this edition comes through its pictures. Richly detailed illustrations showcase the lush country of Black Beauty's youth, dark stormy nights, and the cold reality of London.
