What reading level is My Grandmother's Guests And Their Tales 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
127 " Among these stories is that which I now propose to read to you, in compliance with the law v/hich has been agreed to by all present; and I must be permitted to add that this story appears to me to be not only original, but in the highest degree pathetic. It tells of the fate of two lovers, and of' an instance of savage inhu- manity, which was unfortunately too common to excite surprise, and still less horror, in the coun- try and at the time when it was perpetrated. It is, perhaps, imposs...ible to ascertain, and certainly it is not worth while to inquire, whether the story of Hero and Leander formed any part of the foundation of this tale. Its termination is far more tragical than that of the Greek poem, and the incidents which are introduced add to its interest, as I think, in a very remarkable degree.
I shall read it exactly as I find it in the text, preserving the meaning of the Italian as nearly as possible, and of course neither adding to nor diminishing it myself. The style you will find, like that of all Straparola's countrymen and co- temporaries, simple and severe, without any other ornaments than the pathos of the story furnishes.
