What reading level is The Reciters Treasury of Verse Serious And Humorous book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She was on at the Lane last winter She played in the pantomime ; A lot of our School Board children Get on at the Christmas time. She was one of a group of fairies, And her wand was the wand up there There, in the filthy corner Behind the broken chair.
The gilt of the star has faded, And the tinsel's peeled away ; But once, in the glaring lime-light, It gleamed like a jewelled spray. A fairy's wand in a lodging In a slum like this looks queer ; But you'll guess why they let her keep it When you... know how the wand came here.
2 i 498 GEORGE R. SIMS Her mother was ill that winter, Her father, the drunken sot, Was spending his weekly earnings And all that the fairy got. The woman lay sick and moaning, Dying by slow degrees Of a cruel and wasting fever That rages in dens like these.
But night after night went Sally, Half starved, to the splendid scene Where she waved a wand of magic As a Liliput fairy queen. She stood in the " Land of Shadows, " Where a demon worked his spell, At a wave of her wand he vanquished, And the scene was changed as well.
