What reading level is Indian Memories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The lordly mahseer lives in the great river below the plateau, but cannot run up to this level.
The stream might almost be an English trouting brook — here running between high banks, overshadowed by trees and creepers, there gliding gently through ver- dant meadows, there rushing over gravelly shallows, or, again, plunging in lilliputian cataracts down a staircase of rock, to swirl round in a deep blue basin at the foot. In such pools lurk the Indian barbel — the 232 INDIAN MEMORIES leviathan ...of this brook — running to eight ounces at the utmost. In the swift and shallow waters, and always in the shade, is found a beautiful species of bleak that rises freely to the fly, especially to the blue dun and the black gnat.
We are soon at work. The barbel lie as thickly as at a Thames mill-tail. They are prodigiously hungry too ! Seven good ones soon line my basket. They are much darker than their English brothers, but very good to eat.
A strange figure now approaches the pool at which I am fishing — a lean, wrinkled, hungry-looking Fakir, with ash- smeared face, and pilgrim's gourd and staff.
