What reading level is The Valley of Shadows book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He would see pictures in the blazing wood, and he had a science of his own in the mingUng of different logs.
" How well that dried hickory burns with the damp walnut ! " he would say, taking the tongs and shift- ing the pieces, now a little more to the front, now a little farther back.
He taught me to see castles, people, and faces in the flames and embers, and I knew what colours to expect from the different woods. He kept some that were full of sap, that would burn slowly ; others were split ...up to dry. While sitting before the fire on a clear, bracing night my father was wont to forget every care and abandon himself to the pure pleasures of the hearth. He would dream of the past, of friends in the old country, and more than once he would remark to me, taking the tongs and pointing : " There's a face that reminds me of poor So-and-so." He loved to revisit the old familiar scenes while the 112 THE VALLEY OF SHADOWS fire gave them momentary life and set them before him in frames of gold and flaming opal.
