What reading level is The Land of the Blue Poppy: Travels of a Naturalist in Eastern Tibet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes we must have been 3000 feet above the water, so that we could look down on to great rapids and yet hear no sound. No journey could be more appalling in its wearisome monotony than that through these arid gorges ; climbing up and down over the endless spurs, sweeping in round the endless gullies, we would make good but a few miles in a straight line after hours of riding.
The morning of August 16 saw the mountains on either side covered with snow, but it melted again during the day, th...ough two or three snowy peaks were now visible at the heads of gullies to the west, again suggesting the continuity of the K'a-gur-pu snowy range northwards to Ta-miu. The plants were those of the arid region, though so high up 150 The Wonderful Mekong were we, sometimes over 10,000 feet, that there was a considerable variety of shrubs.
On the 17th we set out very early, as I wished to reach Adong that night, and at midday I left the caravan and rode on ahead, confident that the men would follow on till they overtook me.
