V románě líčí A. Sewell pohnutý osud čilého, odvážného a přitom ukázněného koně, který dovede chápat a potěšit nejen své druhy, ale i své pány, a který dovede ocenit hodného a pozorného člověka a vidí kolem sebe též hodně lidské nedbalosti a bezcitnosti. Posláním knihy, jež je nejoblíbenější dětskou četbou nejen v anglosaském světě, ale i jinde, je podle autorky "vzbuzovat v lidech laskavost, soucit a porozumění, jak zacházet s koňmi". Kniha je doplněna překrásnými malbami od Erica Rowe a byla i úspěšně zfilmována pod názvem Krasavec Beauty (1994).
