Is Black Beauty a children's book? (2)
- NOTE:Although Black Beauty has an animal narrator, the
animals cannot be understood by humans and there are no other fantasy elements,
so this novel is here considered an example of "realism." However, the
particular genre to which this work belongs may itself be an interesting
critical question.
