What reading level is The Holland of to Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At almost every turn their mighty-winged arms are battling with the air, ready to bid defi- ance to a host of Don Quixotes. Some of them are large structures, the upper part being of wood and mounted with a movable cap, in which the immense wings are fixed. The wings revolve with the wind, so that from whatever quarter it blows the mill can do its work. The lower part is usually of brick, and is in immediate connection with the miller's dwelling. Between the upper and lower halves runs a wide g...allery around the circumference, from which the miller can reach the wings to adjust the sails. Sometimes small boys get up on this and climb the ladder-like wings, when they are not in motion. This is a perilous adventure, as was proved in the case of a little fellow, once, who had climbed some distance up the wing of one of these tall mills, when the wind sprang up, and the miller, who knew nothing of the lad's being there, started the mill. The poor little "dare-devil" would doubtless have 30 THE HOLLAND been hurled to a horrible death, if a chance pass- er-by had not heard his agonized screams and warned the miller to stop the mill.
