What reading level is On the Trail of Stevenson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" — Page 95.
FRANCE 89 lished was a tale of mediaeval Paris, A Lodging for the Night. In origin it was an offshoot from two of the critical papers which were later collected in Familiar Studies of Men and Books — the essay on Victor Hugo's Romances and the essay- on Franqois Villon. In this great story Stevenson looked at Villon through the eyes of Victor Hugo. The tale is utterly original in style. A Paris of the past is recreated by a master hand. But ^ Lodging for the Night — despite its man...ifest, peculiar merits — may be regarded as the sort of story Hugo would have written if he, too, had made a thorough study of the life and work of the greatest vandal among poets, the greatest poet among vandals.
Stevenson's second story, The Sire de Maletroifs Door, is also set in mediaeval France. It is the sort of tale that old Dumas might have told if he had ever had suflBcient leisure to develop the finished style of R. L. S. The story happens in a nameless town. We are informed that the hero, Denis de Beaulieu, is a resident of Bourges; and the scene of the tale may be imagined as a lesser Bourges, more dark and little and intimate and thrilling.
