It's mystery book reading time, and tonight BLACK BEAUTY by Anna Sewell

I thought I was just picking a cute story about a horse!?

I was surprised by this one and had no idea what it was about, it's quite moving in spots and deserves a heads up for that, despite it being children's literature. As someone with 0 experience of this book or any of it's media it was more complex than I thought with it's themes but I enjoyed it (hence doing so many chapters here) and hope you do too.

We are only 10 episodes away from 500!! Thank you so much for being here.

Goodnight <3

Next: Tolkien Tuesday! Twilight Thursday!

I loved it. At 83 it’s pretty hard to remember the details. But it was my favorite in the 8th grade. I would really love to hear all of it. By the way I am new to “down to sleep”. It will be a constant companion for me.

Please read this book for us, especially for those of us who are in our 60’s and older. What memories you have brought back to me by reading just a portion of this hauntingly beautiful book back to mind. In 1974 I was ten years old and this book was on the summer reading list at the elementary school I attended. I don’t know what children today are reading or how their brains are being challenged, but my siblings and I always had books to read. A library was just a few blocks from the school and both were walking/bicycling distance from home. We never had a shortage of books to read and being “latchkey” kids, we spent many hours at the library, local parks and climbing giant trees. Black Beauty is definitely worth reading and listening to, especially with your wonderful soothing voice. You have a natural, God given gift and I am so grateful to you for sharing your gift with all of us. HHHUUUGGGSSS 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
