What reading level is Passages in a Wandering Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a copper snake of considerable size. Reaching the house I mentioned the circum- stance to Mr. H , who was much excited, saying that his children were always playing about round the house, and that he was thankful none of them had been bitten by the venomous creature. He marched out to the spot and carried back the snake in triumph.
Although there are many dangerous snakes in Tasmania, and of many kinds, they are not often met with. Once I had a startling encounter with a black snake ; it... was on this same Circular Head ride. Rest- ing on a knoll near Port Sorell, with my horse's bridle PASSAGES IN A WANDERING LIFE 141 in my hand, I became aware of something that was moving swiftly towards me up the hill among the dead leaves and twigs beside the bush track. An instant after a large black snake darted past me, its coils all in rapid gliding motion, and replacing one another with a celerity which accounted for its swift movement over the ground. It was a beautiful lesson in serpentine movement ; the creature did not advance in a straight line, nor by zig-zags, but by coils, the suppleness of which, and the grace of their gradual change, and the play of light on their scales, produced an impression of great beauty.
