What reading level is Haroun Alraschid Caliph of Bagdad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" A glass of wine, " innocently replied the Christian ; whereupon the Moslem made a face — Moslems never drink wine, as everybody knows, since it is forbidden by their law — and asked him if he was sure it was really wine. " Quite, " said the other. " I had it from a Jew wine merchant ; my servant bought it for me. " " What a credulous fool you are, " replied the Doctor; "we traditionists have great discussions about the authority of even such persons as Sufyan ibn Oyainah and Yezid ibn Hariin,... and am I going to believe a Christian on the authority of a slave who had it from a Jew ? Give me another glass ! " I may add that this system of tracing a legend to its original narrator is extended to secular history by the Arab writers ; thus the story of the quarrel between the Caliph's half-brother and the singer Ishak, related further on, is told by the author of the Kitdb el Aghdni (a well-known work on poets and singers), who had it direct from one Mohammed, who heard it from his father Ahmed, who had it from his father Ishmael, who had it from his brother, the very Ishak who is the hero of the story.
