What reading level is The Kfirs of the Hindu Kush book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Presunsul the idol-lionses are much more carved and ornamented than in the Bashgul Valley, while the god is often shown seated under a wedge-shaped roof, and sometimes engaged in playing a musical instrument. At Deogrom there is a Monitan (Moni place, i. E. , shrine) where the "prophet" is made of an extraordinary shape. He is furnished with large circular eyes with a dot in the middle ; he has cat-like moustaches, and appears to be hold- ing his head in his hands, the face peering out betwe...en the points of long horns, which, starting from below, cross and recross each other till they reach the god's chin. Occasionally the shrine is placed on the top of a village tower in Presungul, a plan I have seen in no other district.
The only really elaborate shrine with which I am ac- quainted in the Bashgul Valley is Dizane's at Kamdesh. It was built by men brought from Presungul for the purpose. It is covered with carving, and has the wedge- shaped roof so common in Presungul, and practically never seen in the Bashgul Valley except at this place.
