What reading level is The Clerk of the Woods book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Titlarks walked daintily about the grass, or balanced themselves upon the boulders, and once I turned my head just in time to see a marsh ON THE NORTH SHORE AGAIN 109 hawk sailing over the hill at my back, his white rump showing.
When I had left the hills behind me, and was again skirting the muddy flats, I found myself all at once near a few sandpipers, — a dozen, more or less, of white-rumps, — one with a foot dragging, one with a leg held up, and beside them a single red-back, or dunlin, sta...ggering on one leg, the same bird, it seemed likely, that I had pitied a week ago. I pitied him still. Ornithology, studied under such conditions, was no longer the cheerful, exhilarating science to which I am accustomed. It was more like socio- logy- Perhaps I am sentimental. If so, may I be forgiven. There is no man but has his weakness. The dunlin was nothing, I knew ; one among thousands ; a few ounces of flesh with feathers on it ; what if he did suffer ? It was none of my business. Why should I take other men's amusements sadly ?
