What reading level is Madame Prune book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A dozen of such odd roguish little people, rather pale of face, with such modest airs in their long robes ! Flat miniature faces, eyes so bridled that it looked impossible to open them, unnatural erections of corded hair, each one representing the heads of a dozen normal women ; and little shep- herdess hats perched a-top ! There was something of our French eighteenth century to be found in these fashions, but in an infinitely more ancient mode ; they had a deceitful appearance of Louis XVI dol...ls. Never would we have imagined Asiatic dancing girls under such an aspect ; but in Korea everything is absurd and impossible to foresee.
With lowered eyes and expressionless faces they first executed a kind of tragedy step, brandishing cutlasses in their frail hands. Then, taking off their quaint little hats, they played an intermin- able and childishly silly game. One after the other, with soft languishing gestures, they came forward to throw a light ball, which had to pass through the pretty cardboard portico by a hole cut in the frieze ; when the ball went through neatly, the other dolls, with a thousand artificial airs and graces, made haste to plant a monstrous poppy, as reward, in the false hair of the adroit little lady ; but if the ball failed to pass, the guilty person was punished with a black cross, which one Madame Prune 171 of her companions traced in Indian ink upon her cheek, with many affected gestures.
