What reading level is Tales of Old Earth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This can’t be right.
Yes?
According to this schedule, we arrive at Elf Hill Station at 8:23 PM and after a half-hour layover, the train departs exactly two hundred years later.
Quite right.
But that can’t be!
Is this your first time on this route?
Yes, my company is expanding into new markets. I’m a commercial traveler. I used to cover Indiana and Illinois.
Well, that explains it. I take it this is your first visit to Faerie? No previous travel experience in the Noncontiguous Territories—Grammar...ie, Brocielande, Arcadia, et cetera?
Well … no, but I’ve done a lot of traveling, and I’ve got an excellent record. I won the Daniel L. Houseman Sales Cup three years running.
Most impressive. An obviously intelligent man such as yourself, then, should have no trouble comprehending the chronologically liberated nature of the night lands, as we like to call them.
I beg your pardon. Chronologically liberated?
That’s what I said. You’ll have noticed that physical travel here is particularly dreamlike, that an hour can be spent rushing furiously past a small pond, that a hundred miles can go by in the wink of an eye.
