What reading level is A Little Swiss Sojourn book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A booth for the sale of wine and beer wasset off, and there was a good deal of amiable drinking. This was notlike our fairs quite; and I am bound to say that the people of Aigle hadmore polished manners, if not better, than our country-town average.
To quit this scene for the castle of Aigle was to plunge from thepresent into my favorite Middle Ages. We were directly in the times whenthe Lords of Berne held the Vaud by the strong hand, and forcedProtestant convictions upon its people by the sam...e vigorous methods. Thecastle was far older than their occupation, but it is chiefly memorableas the residence of their bailiffs before the independence of the Vaudwas established after the French Revolution. They were hard masters, butthey left political and religious freedom behind them, where perhapsneither would have existed without them. The castle, though eminentlypicturesque and delightfully Gothic, is very rudely finished anddecorated, and could never have been a luxurious seat for the bailiffs.
