Black Beauty
Azabache
A horse tells his own life — every owner, every kindness, every cruelty.
Anna Sewell's 1877 novel, told for Level 1, narrated by the horse himself. Azabache passes from hand to hand: a good home, a hard one, a cab in London. He cannot speak to the people who decide his life, but he sees all of them clearly.
