Efter to eller tre uger begyndte dette at tage på mine kræfter og på mit humør. Græsfoderet var, selv om det var godt, ikke nok til at opretholde min foderstand uden korn. Jeg klagede imidlertid ikke eller lod mig mærke med mine savn."I Anna Sewells klassiker fortæller hesten Sorteper om sit liv i England i 1820’erne.

I anden halvdel bliver Sorteper offer for grådige mennesker, der forsømmer ham for deres egen vindings skyld. Men der er heldigvis også mennesker, der gør en forskel for, at den blide hest skal have det godt.Anna Sewell (1820-1878) var en engelsk forfatter og kvinden bag en af de bedst sælgende bøger nogensinde "Black Beauty", der på dansk både er udkommet under originaltitlen og som "Sorteper".

Selvom Anna Sewell ikke oprindeligt skrev "Sorteper" til et børnepublikum, regnes bogen i dag som en klassiker inden for børne- og ungdomslitteraturen.
