What reading level is Persian Miniatures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If they treated me the more kindly because my grandfather, who was one of the first Amer- icans to set foot in Persia, cleared the way for them nearly a hundred years ago, they did not cast me off when they discovered me to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. So do not expect me to make copy out of them beyond saying that they taught me how friendly and human a missionary may be.
The house to which we go oftenest of all has least in it to remind us where we are. It does, to be sure, remind us of the... cousinship between Persia and India, being built on the lines of an Indian bungalow, with wide verandas running the whole length of it in front and behind; and black hats bring in the tea or serve the dinner. But once they are gone the drawing room is a piece of England, down to the very coals on the hearth and the carpet on the floor in this country whose rugs are in demand the world over! It is a perfect example of the steadfastness with which the Englishman sticks to his own. And we are sure to find there the modern descendant of that fam- ous old British type of the gentleman adventurer, who likes a bit of a lark and the sight of strange suns, who rides, shoots, plays tennis and tent-pegging, and other- wise comports himsel in a manner which no Persian and no German can understand, any more than they 156 OLD WINE IN NEW BOTTLES will ever understand how such men have come to inherit so goodly a portion of the earth.
