What reading level is The Island of Fantasy : a Romance 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Maurice, who had hitherto doubted the existence of love, was now being punished for such scepticism, and was as love- sick as ever was some green lad fascinated by a pretty face. * He jests at scars who never felt a wound ; ' but Maurice did not jest at scars now, for the arrow of Cupid, shot from some viewless height, had made a wound in his heart which would heal not till he died ; or, even granting it would heal, would leave a scar to be seen of all men.
It was the old story of Ixion over ag...ain. Here was a man embracing a cloudy phantom of his own imagination, for, admitting that this beautiful face belonged to a real woman, Maurice knew nothing about her, yet dowered her with all the exquisite A Modern Ixion, 207 perfections of feminality. He dreamed she would be loving, tender, and womanly, yet, for aught he knew, the owner of that lovely face might be a very Penthesilea for daring and masculine emulation.
But no ; he could not believe that she would unsex herself by taking upon her nature the rival attributes of manly strength, for the whole face breathed nothing but feminine delicacy.
