What reading level is The Other Side of the Lantern An Account of a Commonplace Tour Round the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
- Beyond the glittering river, beyond the little beach of French grey, beyond the green, unbroken flat which sweeps inland for miles, there stands up against the sky a brilliant pinnacle of astounding height It looks like a pink, snow-covered mountain peak as seen in the dawn. It rises up ghostlike against the blue, infinitely delicate, unsubstantial, marvellous. It is the Great Golden Pagoda of Rangoon — a wonder of the world.
As the steamer draws nearer there is some sign of the town. At firs...t, all that is seen of it is a green hillock, about which cluster a medley of brown roofs and chubby trees. On the summit of the mound is the Great Pagoda. It has now become a dazzling spire of polished metal, a column of pure yellow gold, from its base among the trees to the spear-like pinnacle which trembles in the heavens. Just below its highest point hangs a canopy of tangled gilt and precious stones, and here are swinging mirrors which catch the light and sparkle in the sun like a circle of immense diamonds.
