About this episode

Tonight's snoozy tale is the continuation of Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. Published in 1877, this book was her only published work. It is one of the first English novels to be written from the perspective of an animal. In this episode, Black Beauty saves his owner during a storm from an unstable bridge, and then Beauty is trapped in a burning stable.
