What reading level is The Art of Entertaining book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Dickens cards may count but one, while Tupper will be named sixteen. Carlyle ¥irill only count two, while Artemas Ward will be sixty. King Henry VIII., who set no small store by himself, may be No. 1 in the kingly game, while Edward IV. will be allowed a higher numeral than he was allotted in life. Now we come to a game which interests old and young. None are so apathetic but they relish a peep behind the dark curtain. The apple-paring in the fire, the roasted chestnut and the raisin, the f...ire-back and the stars, have been interrogated since time began. The pack of cards, the teacup, the dream-book, the board with mystic numbers, the Bible and key, have been con- sulted from time immemorial. The makers of games have given in their statistics, and they declare there are no games so popular as those which foretell the fiiture. Now this tampering with gruesome things which may lead to bad dreams is not recommended, but so long as it is done for fim and an evening's amusement it is not at all dangerous.
