What reading level is An Island Garden book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . The flower in my hand is a poverty stricken Poppy, I was going to write, poverty strengthened Poppy, I mean. On richer ground it would have gushed into flaunting breadth of untenable purple; flapped its incon- sistent scarlet vaguely to the wind ; dropped the pride of its petals over my hand in an hour after I gathered it. But this little rough-bred thing . . .
82 AN ISLAND GARDEN is as bright and strong to-day as yesterday. . . . What outline its petals really have is little shown in their... crumpled fluttering, but that very crum- pling arises from a fine floral character which we do not enough value in them. We usually think of a Poppy as a coarse flower ; but it is the most transparent and delicate of all the blossoms of the field. The rest, nearly all of them, de- pend on the texture of their surfaces for color. But the Poppy is painted glass; it never glows so brightly as when the sun shines through it. Wherever it is seen, against the light or with the light, always it is a flame, and warms the wind like a blown ruby.
