What reading level is In Praise of Old Gardens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the garden door in 19 THE PRAISE OF GARDENS the wall was shut and locked. There on the thymy ledge outside the garden wall, beside the worn step of the blind shut door, we sat down among the irises. In the still hush of afternoon we lis- tened to the gentle stir of leaves among the walnuts and evergreen oaks that overtopped the wall. Pale pink petals floated down from the china roses clambering about the trees, and fell softly at our feet. Sometimes there came a little sound of tinkling wat...ers running over into some marble basin; or the fitful melody of a nightingale, or the voice of the turtle was heard somewhere within the thick shade, and the scent of new-blown orange-flowers ever and again just touched the air. Some- times a great black wild bee heav- ily laden passed over from the other side, droned for a moment in the purple irises, and drifted away into space. Below the rock, and away as far as the eye could 20 THE PRAISE OF GARDENS reach, a grey mist of olive woods rilled all the valley, veiling the mountain-sides till lost at last in lilac hollows of the hills.
