I equally loved and hated this story. Looking at BookMeter reviews this is something kids read in their elementary school literature classes and I can see why.

As for learning - the language is a bit old fashioned but there are several words normally written in kanji that are in kana here (at least for the Aozora edition). I expect you'll need a dictionary, but I don't think the grammar will trip up that much.
