What reading level is Sleeping Beauty, And Other Prose Fancies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It knows all that realism can teach it — and far more. It is an idealism without illusions, it is an idealism that will wear.
It is, indeed, a very different thing from what our grandfathers meant by idealism — so different as perhaps hardly to be called by the same name. What our grandfathers meant is perhaps best suggested by that bad 88 IDEALISM old verb " idealise." Our grandfathers actu- ally found it necessary to " idealise " life, idealise this wonderful human life. They threw over it ro...se-lights from the outside.
To them poetry and art were to be " improve- ments " upon, rather than pictures of and interpretations of, life, — as if the world was not more beautiful than anything that has ever been written about it. Like a fashion- able photographer, they would smooth out all the wrinkles, touch up the eyes, complete with dimpled corners the cupid's bow of the mouth, and for the wonderful face of man, written over with joys and sorrows, with wistful eyes filled with eternal mean- ings, substitute a foolish image of simpering wax.
