What reading level is Pheasants And Covert Shooting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many of the young ones die of over -eating.
Soups, pastries, and custards are among the dainties prepared for them, and they eat voraciously. When their baby days are over they come to the call for food, and so are shot in hundreds. This fact makes pheasant shooting a more tame sport than it might otherwise be.
It is somewhat dispiriting to think that for every reader these pages on the pheasant and his ways may chance to find, thousands of people must solemnly as- similate such stuiF as the ab...ove ; for the excerpt quoted is by no means unique, being a fair enough sample of its kind, only redeemed by its unconscious humour, pleasantly tickling the imagination with an inspiring mental picture of the ' annual battue.' But in this respect we still seem to live in the dark ages. The alliterative attrac- ' Article in the Yorkshire Post, October 1, 1912.
THE REARED PHEASANT 211 tions of 'hand -reared and half -tame' never fail to entice the unwary writer, who then proceeds to blame the sport for the lack of skill it demands, not in wood- craft, wherein he might find ample justifica- tion for his criticism, but in marksmanship forsooth, the one unassailable quality with which the pursuit of the hand - reared pheasant is indued.
