What reading level is Through India With the Prince book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And here is the everlasting snake- charmer, shrill kalabash in mouth, a number of cobras coiled in front of him, and his accomplice beating the dull tom-tom beside him. He is a man of many tricks, some extraordinarily clever, others too crude to earn him even the admiration of an American tourist.
Nor are the women idle. Here I see two of them standing up with enormous pestles in their hands, pound- ing rice in a stone mortar ; there a solitary matron kneels down, crushing curry on a marble sla...b with a heavy roller of marble ; and further off two maids, with red patches of questionable beauty between their black brows, are grind- MADRAS 235 ing wheat between two millstones, to the accompaniment of a monotonous chant, perchance not unlike the mill- song which the maidens of Lesbos sang in the days of old.
It is one of those strains, weary and weird, which for the Western ear possess no melody, save the melody of an infinite sadness. You hear the wail first in the Balkans ; it pursues }ou through Greece, Egypt, and Syria unto the utmost confines of India.
