What reading level is At Last: a Christmas in the West Indies book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And a noble grass it is, with its stems as thick as one's wrist, tillering out below in bold cuiTes over the welt-hoed dark soil, and its broad bright leaves falling and folding above in curves as bold as tTiose of the stems — handsome enough thus, but more handsome still, I am told, when the " arrow," as the flower is called, spreads over the cane-piece a purple haze, which flicker^ in long shining waves before the breeze. One only fault it has — that from the luxuriance of its growth no wind ...can pass through it, and that therefore the heat of a cane-fleld trace is utterly stifling. Here and there we passed a still uncul- tivated spot, a desolate reedy swamp, with pools, and stunt- ed alder-like, trees, reminding us again of the Deep Fens, while the tall chimneys of the sugar-works, and the high woods beyond, completed the illusion. One might have been looking over Holm Fen toward Caistor Hanglands, or over Deeping toward the remnants of the ancient Brunes- wald.
Soon, however, we had a broad hint that we were not in the Fens, but in a tropic island.
