What reading level is Iceland Horseback Tours in Saga Land book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sub- tlety of the Icelandic language does not permit of accu- rate translation of the fine meaning into English. To illustrate one of these appreciations combined with ard- ent love of country, I have rendered into English, with- out any attempt at alliteration, one stanza from Jonas Hallgrimson, — You know the land with smiling face Which many blue-ridged mountains grace, The song of swan on quiet stream Where meads with joyous flowers teem, HEKLA 137 The glacier's broad and shining wall, ...The glint of sea, the roar of fall, — God's blessing rest on thee, I pray, Throughout the everlasting day.
There are songs of the meadow and the sheep-tend- ing, of fishing and of the hay-harvest, of returning spring and dying summer, of the happiness of horne- life, of sorrow and joy and love and the whole scale of human emotions. In the midst of their poverty and toil they are a cheerful and happy race, singing at their occupations or writing songs in the saddle or at the sheep-tending. The children are taught to appreciate poetry and to write it and the result is that nearly every one makes verses and out of the many attempts there is much that is excellent.
