What reading level is A Walk in Hellas Or the Old in the New book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whereat the speech was brought to a close which may be modestly called a happy one : thus let it be now.
TALK FOURTH.
Marathon.
As soon as the speech had come to an end, I rose and looked out of the wineshop, desiring to take a short stroll before going to bed, in order to catch a breath of fresh air and to see a Greek evening in the Marathonian vale. Though long after sunset, it appeared light out of doors everywhere ; that vague flicker from the sky it was which gives a mystical indefinitenes...s to the things of Nature and produces such a marked contrast to the clear plastic outlines of daytime. The schoolmaster went along, and we walked up the stream of Marathon, which often gurgled into a momentary gleam over the pebbles, and then fell back into darkness. The mountains on each side of us were changed into curious fan- tastic shapes which played in that subtle light ; caprice of forms now ruled the beautiful Greek world, as if begotten in the sport of a Northern fancy ; Hecate with her rout of witches and goblins had broken loose from her dark caverns in the earth and was flitting across glimmering patches of twilight up and down the hill-sides.
