What reading level is Adventures in the Great Forest of Equatorial Africa And the Country of the Dwarf book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bemandji's head-wife or queen, a rather pretty young woman, after the Apingi custom, came with her husband one day to see me. 1 gave her a piece of bright cotton cloth, which delighted her so much that she immediately began, to my great dismay, to disrobe herself, in order to put on my present. But when she had reduced herself to a state of nature, something else of my goods attracted her attention, and she began to talk and look around her with the most complete unconcern for some time, before... she bethought her of the neglected cloth, with which she endued herself very leisurely.
I had a little adventure with another of the women. The king, on my arrival, signified to me, with the usual liberality of African kings, that any of his wives, or any of anybody else's wives that pleased my eyes, I was requested to consider my own. I, of course, replied that in our country we did not marry in this off-hand way ; which he could not at all understand. As, however, the women are the housekeepers, when I was settled a little I chose one of the oldest and ugliest that I saw, and installed her as my housekeeper, cook, and maid-of-all-work.
