What reading level is A Childs Story of Hans Christian Andersen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his boyhood, he would have thought nothing of marching upon the stage, and giving the audience present a display of his talent; but now it was different. The perspira- tion stood out on his brow, his knees felt cold, and wobbled, and for a moment, facing the applauding public among whom were peasants who had walked fifteen miles to see him, it seemed that he would collapse from stage fright. The only thing that saved him, at this critical juncture, was the presence of two 152 In the World of... Children little children he knew, who oc- cupied seats in the front row. By keeping his eyes fixed on their beam- ing faces, Hans managed to imagine that they were the only persons in the hall. The result was most satis- factory, though naturally Hans never wanted to go through such an or- deal again.
A curious incident happened late one afternoon while the author was reading The Storm Shakes the Sign- board to a group of children and their parents. This story, by the way, is not a fairy-tale at all but a true description of the havoc wrought by a hurricane that swooped down upon Odense in Hans' child- hood days.
