Description
Vintage hardcover children’s book - Son of Black Beauity, Phyllis Briggs
Author: Phyllis Briggs
Publication: circa 1960s. Printed and made in Great Britain by Dean & Son Ltd
Number of pages: 184
ISBN: 10: 0603030424
The publication date of this book is not noted in the book and research shows quite a few different dates. The series - The Dean’s Classics titles were printed between 1957 - c. 1971. So I am dating this book circa 1960s.
This book in is very good vintage condition. The front and back covers are extremely neat and tidy. There is the smallest amount of bending of the edges of top and bottom of the spine. The binding is very tight. The edges of the all the pages are browning with age. There are no rips, tears or folds to the pages.
"We never meet Black Beauty, Anna Sewell’s horse, in this tale, but it shows the life of a horse who starts off with gypsies so we can take it that his dam was introduced to young Black Beauty when he was a colt running in the fields.
Stardust is a clever and handsome black horse who is taught various tricks by his keen young gypsy owner. He remembers these right to his last home because, like his sire, he goes through a series of owners and is put to various uses. This is well written and recreates the life of a horse of those days, when society depended on them for transport."
