Black Beauty is uit. Het is jammer dat ik het niet gelezen heb toen ik 10 was en een paardenmeisje. Nu als volwassene vind je het snel sentimenteel, wat niet wegneemt dat ik af en toe toch een traantje wegpinkte. Hoewel het boek nogal melodramatisch is (Remi voor paarden), had Sewell het hart ...

Black Beauty was a lovely read. It could have gone in the Children's book category too. However, the story is quite melodramatic and a little sentimental; I am quite sure that I would have enjoyed the story more if I had read when I was a child myself. As a horse loving girl, I probably would ...
