What reading level is An Old Mans Holidays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Hitherto, to my old haunt on the Itchen, I came, full of hope, for some Whit- suntide trout fishing. I have had a bad beginning. On Friday afternoon the wind and rain were dead against me, and there was nothing doing to en- courage a dry-fly man to hope for the most modest success ; not a rise could be seen, and yet there was apparently an abundance of flies, driven hither and thither by the ceaseless wind. The swallows were outrageously greedy. Over and over again would they pick up my fly fro...m the water, and drop it like a nasty thing. I had armed myself, to begin with, with the fly so highly spoken of by Sir E. Grey, and which may be called Sir E. Grey's Black Spider. \ With it I soon captured a brace of grayling, which I did not want. Thinking it was perhaps more attrac- tive to grayling (which abound), I rashly changed it for a nice Yellow Dun. I played at floating fly in a " chuck-and-chance-it " sort of way for what else can a dry-fly man do when there is nothing visible * Last spring (that is a year afterwards) they came back to survey their old home ; they did not build, but I have observed that ever since then they come there every evening to roost probably next year they will build again, they could not find a safer or more charming abode.
