What reading level is The Innsmouth Heritage And Other Sequels book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A nightingale, understanding the nature of his desperation, implores the rose-trees in his garden to provide a single red rose, so that the student might pursue his courtship.The only tree capable of producing such a rose asks that the nightingale press her breast against a thorn, so that her life-blood might supply the necessary color. She complies, singing all the while in order to force the blood from her reluctant veins, but the effort leaves her dead and drained.When the student finds the u...nexpected rose he is ecstatic, and he carries it triumphantly to the girl. Alas, she has already received a gift of jewels from a wealthy suitor and she is no longer interested in roses or in students.The student draws the conclusion from this unfortunate episode that love is silly and impractical, and that he would do better to devote himself to the study of philosophy. This is not, however, the lesson which the reader is intended to draw. The reader is supposed to appreciate the awful tragedy of the nightingale’s sacrifice, born of her admirable but foolishly optimistic conviction that love is better than life, and that the heart of a man is worth far more than the heart of a bird.Were nightingales actually capable of the powers of thought and judgment that the fable credits to them, they would surely tell the tale differently.
