What reading level is Recollections of An Old Mountaineer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Later on I witnessed the extraordinary growth of the narcissus about Les Avants. It grew in great sheets ; the dark leaves, above which rose the star-like flowers, entirely hiding the grass. Later on they mowed them down with scythes so as to let the grass get the sun and air.
Later, again, I went to Kandersteg ; and it was while wandering there that I first began the collection of inscrip- tions, cut on the outsides of chalets, with which I went on in 1907-8, and of which I speak later (see Ch.... Xvii. ).
On June 20, 1 met Cockin and Brant at Andermatt ; and next day we drove over to Dissentis.
More than once I find written in my diary : ' I hke this East Switzerland ! ' And indeed all was singularly charm- ing. The rivers were fine and the waters clear — Hke greenish salmon rivers, not the muddy glacier streams of the Rhone valle}^. And instead of the desolate slopes of the latter, we had mountain sides covered with fine trees and other vegetation ; instead of the too often dirty and ruinous buildings we found clean and solid houses (not unadorned with flowers) that suggested prosperity and cheerful lives, without striking the lower note of mere prettiness that so often jars on one in the Berner-Oberland.
