What reading level is In Praise of Switzerland: Being the Alps in Prose And Verse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was this disturbing thing about the gully, that it went in steps, and before each step one saw the sky just a yard or two ahead ; one lost the comforting sight of earth. One knew of course that it would only be a little drop, and that the slope would begin again, but it disturbed one. And it is a trial to drop or clamber down, say fourteen or fifteen feet, sometimes twenty, and then to find no flat foothold but that eternal steep beginning again.
I went very slowly. When I was about half-...way down and had come to a place where a shoulder of heaped rock stood on my left and where little parallel ledges led up to it, having grown accus- tomed to the descent and easier in my mind, I sat down on a slab and drew imperfectly the things I saw : the lake below me, the first forests clinging to the foot of the Alps beyond, their higher HILAIRE BELLOC 165 slopes of snow, and the clouds that had now begun to gather round them and that altogether hid the last third of their enormous height. Then I saw a steamer on the lake.
