The third one just about did me in. Trying to read and sobbing at the same time is a challenge.

I had a book as a child called Blitz. It's about a volunteer fire horse. He is injured in an accident and sold to a cruel man. The abuse was horrible. My mother would walk past my room and hear me crying and know that I was reading it AGAIN. She got rid of it. I was able to find it many years later online.

Several Thomas Costain books - The Black Rose and Son of A Hundred Kings come to mind.

I love books that make me cry.
