What reading level is Complete Short Stories (Vmc) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nowadays, refugees are part of the world’s landscape, but he was much less a refugee than an ambassador. He had come to England with other children from the bombed cities of Spain. They lived in a camp near our home, and were always about the country lanes – graceful, swarthy children. Young as they were, fear had come closer to them than to us, and they seemed like our futures walking towards us. Fernando was the one my husband and I knew most intimately. Because of his nervous habits, which sh...ock had caused, the other children teased him; and the camp doctor asked us if we would take him into our home until he recovered. I knew nothing about him except what the doctor told me – that his father, a schoolmaster, was in hiding, his mother in prison, and his one brother, grown-up, had been killed by the Fascists. Nine years old, forlorn, speaking no word of English, he had achieved a jaunty gaiety to cover up his naturally clinging disposition. I imagined him a ‘spoilt’ child (though kindness could no more spoil him than evil had) – much petted, the baby of the family, born to his mother in her middle age.
