What reading level is A Motor-Flight Through France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our third chateau, Valencay — which, for com- parison's sake, one may couple with the others though it lies far south of Blois — Valencay bears itself with greater aloofness, bidding the town "keep its distance" down the hill on which the great house lifts its heavy angle-towers and flattened domes. A huge cliff-like wall, en- closing the whole southern flank of the hill, sup- ports the terraced gardens before the chateau, which to the north is divided from the road by a vast cour d'honneur wit...h a monumental grille and [75] A MOTOR-FLIGHT THROUGH FRANCE gateway. The impression is grander yet less noble.
But France is never long content to repeat her effects; and between Maintenon and Valencay she puts Chartres and Blois. Ah, these grey old cathedral towns with their narrow clean streets widening to a central place — at Chartres a beau- tiful oval, like the market-place in an eighteenth- century print — with their clipped lime-walks, high garden walls, Balzacian gables looking out on sunless lanes under the flanks of the granite giant!
