What reading level is The Hunting Year book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One night in the middle of October the wind, without any warning, whips round to the north, and next day there is an ominous howl amidst the trees, a bleak sky, and flying showers of cold rain. And of this kind of weather there can be several days without the rain making any impression upon the ground. Scent in the woods is as bad as it was in the Indian summer, and out in the open, too, there has been little improvement. Indeed in the open, scent is as 54 An October Afternoon bad for the hunts...man as it well can be. If a bull may be forgiven, it would have been better for him if it had been worse. For when hounds can barely own a line it is trying enough, but if they have been taught to hunt, and are quietly and patiently handled, though there may be disappointment, much serious harm cannot happen.
But when, as so frequently happens on these squally days, hounds can run as if tied to their fox for half a mile, and then they check all at once and cannot touch the line for some minutes, and then repeat the same thing a few times ; the young ones are ripe for any mischief, and even the steadiest old hound will so far forget himself at times as to show an inclination to stray from the strict paths of virtue and to theorise, to say the least, that there are other beasts of chase as well as the fox.
