What reading level is Nothing to Eat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The whole after cooking six hours at the least, When thus well compounded with delicate skill, With wine sauce is eaten, to finish the feast, And suits the digestion of ladies quite ill, Who suffer as I do, from having bad cooks, And very weak stomachs, and food that near kills 'em;And then such a sight of bad rules in the booksFrom contents to finis, to cure one that fills 'em. [Illustration: "FOR NOTHING TO CURE WITH IS USED BUT COLD WATER: ANDWHAT WITH THE BATHING AND WASHING AND SCRUBBING--..."] There's one of all others so much recommendedTo cure every ill of old Eve's every daughter, With nothing or next to't, for medicine expended, For nothing to cure with is used but cold water. And what with the bathing, and washing, and scrubbing;The packing, and sweating, and using the sheet;The shower bath, and douche bath, and all sorts of rubbing;And literally nothing but brown bread to eat, No wonder the patient accepts of the lure, To escape such a ducking, acknowledged a cure. But Lord, what a skein I have made of my yarn, While Susan's arranging and changing the plates, And running all round old Robin Hood's barn, Like puzzles at school that we made on our slates;But talking of puzzles, no one that we made, While playing the fool we played as a trade, When childhood and folly joined hands at the schools, Could equal the pranks of these cold-water fools.
