Black Beauty :Longman Picture Classics

This is one of a series of classic stories retold in very easy English. The whole series comprises one level only, and uses a 500-word vocabulary as formulated for stage 1 of the "Longman Classics" series and stage 1 structures as specified in the "Longman Structural Readers Handbook". There are four pages of exercise material at the end of the text. The "Longman Picture Classics" are designed to be easier and of a lower level than stage 1 "Longman Classics". They are shorter, with less text in larger typeface and with illustrations on every double-page spread. "Black Beauty" is an account of a horse's experiences at the hands of many owners, ranging from the kind Squire Gordon to a cruel cab-owner. It is one of the most celebrated animal stories of the 19th century.
