What reading level is Commonplace, And Other Short Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The men set him down, and began in silence to dig his grave. It was soon ready to receive him; they threw the body roughly in, and cast upon it the first shovelful of earth.
But the moment of deliverance had arrived.
His wish suddenly found vent in a prolonged unearthly yell. Damp with night dew, pale NICK. 179 as death, and shivering from head to foot, he sat bolt upright, with starting, staring eyes and chattering teeth. The murderers, in mortal fear, cast down their tools, plunged deep into ...a wood hard by, and were never heard of more.
Under cover of night Nick made the best of his way home, silent and pondering. Next morning he gave Giles Hodge a rare tulip- root, with full directions for rearing it; he sent the doctor's wife a Persian cat twice the size of her lost pet ; the labourer's cottage was repaired, his window glazed, and his beer- barrel replaced by unknown agency ; and when a vague rumour reached the village that the miser was dead, that his ghost had been heard bemoaning itself, and that all his treasures had been carried off, our hero was one of the few persons who did not say, 'And served him right, too.' Finally, Nick was never again heard to utter a wish.
