What reading level is The Young in Heart book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
PLAY with the simple diversions that I remem- ber so pleasantly. It is partly, perhaps, that they are exposed to new-fashioned breakfast cereals which soak up cream before imagination can draw breath ; it is partly that they are so repeatedly warned by their nurses and mammas not to play with their food.
The atmosphere of discouragement that surrounds the play of children is not abated with the years. The enjoyment of dreams, the building of castles in the air, the es- caping from the facts of ...life, especially from the unpleasant facts, to beguile one's self upon fancy and dalliance are disap- proved and despised ; and I raise up my voice in protest. What a real and blame- less pleasure, I exclaim, it is for the most of us to imagine ourselves greater, braver, finer than we are or than we shall ever be ! Entering a shop to buy a neck- tie, one may perhaps be interrupting the meditation of the salesman on how he should act if he were President, — how [91 ] WORK AND PLAY gracious he would be, and benign and lovable, and withal how inflexibly inde- pendent and in crises stern.
