What reading level is Daphne in the Fatherland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is only on noticing that horses and carts are able to keep up with it quite easily that one realizes that, in spite of its fussiness, it is not accomplishing as it would have us believe, anything very record-breaking. It was full of very interesting people, pea- A REGRETTABLE INCIDENT 223 sants for the most part, wearing picturesque clothes and smoking curved pipes with little lids to keep in the tobacco. Some of the women who wore handkerchiefs over their heads such a neat, picturesque, sim...ple coiffure carried on their backs enormous baskets which were fastened on their shoulders with beautifully em- broidered straps. Many of them were bare- footed, but all so exquisitely clean and wholesome looking with smooth well- brushed hair and garments absolutely neat. An occasional patch was to be seen, but no- where a hole or a ragged skirt edge. They chattered incessantly, a patois I could with difficulty understand.
I was so amused with the constant change at every station, peasants getting in and peasants getting out, each one full of in- dividuality and interest that I almost for- got to get out myself at Freidorf, where the station-master greeted me like an old friend and took me in charge at once.
