This is the adaptation I am most proud of. I often use it as an example when talking about adaptations in webinars and face to face presentations.


Black Beauty is a horse who tells his story, a story of friendship, courage and endurance.


This story, which made such a huge impact on British culture and on the way animals were treated seems to resonate with young readers in different parts of the world. Children from countries like Mongolia and Indonesia often ask about Black Beauty.
