What reading level is Wanderings of a Pilgrim in the Shadow of Mont Blanc book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
XXIII.] SWISS GIRLS HAYMAKING. 153 all beauty and dry as summer's dust, that could suffer in a nwther's heart so unnatural a wish ! Ah, there must have been something of hardness in the heart, as well as hardship in the life, to bring about such feelings.
I remonstrated with the poor woman in behalf of her daughters, but she observed that other families had girls enough, and intimat- ed that they were a mere incumbrance, while the boys could earn their own bread. But if the girls who were makin...g hay lower down the valley did not earn theirs, there is never a hunter in all Switzerland could earn it. Indeed, there seemed to me to be al- most no labor, in which the women-folk do not bear a good part in these Alpine solitudes. Their station in the household is anything but a sinecure ; they only do not hunt for Chamois.
Farther up than this we passed a little cluster of huts for making cheese, and drank of the rich fresh milk which they were just drawing from the cows, pouring it into a colossal Titanic kettle, to undergo in mass the process preparatory for the cheese-press.
