What reading level is The Isle of Vanishing Men a Narrative of Adventure in Cannibal Land book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some of the men are busy with their toilets. They are all fops when it comes to personal appearance. Several of them are sitting upon their haunches or with outstretched legs, with the inner lid of a Malay tobacco-box held up- right for a mirror, busy with a lip -stick of bam- boo upon which is smeared a mixture of lime and water. This they spread on in layers of varying thickness; or, if the whim strikes them, they will besoot their already dusky skin with black and outhne thereon circles comp...osed of white dots and red lines. One dandy, who has been lei- surely fashioning a rattan handle for a stone war-club head, pauses in his labor and from the wicker basket or gauntlet on his arm — which, by the way, is his only pocket — takes a small pouch of kangaroo hide containing his war-paint. This is yellow ochre in its native state. Break- ing off a fragment of it, he pulverizes it between his palms, then, with the powder heaped equally QUARTERS IN THE KAMPONG 111 in each hand, bends over in the manner of one about to wash the face and briskly rubs the color over his entire face and neck.
