What reading level is Santa Barbara: And Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The years went on, and *NaIdo grew a man and Tessa an old woman ; and, as they had not enough for themselves, he was foolish enough to take a third mouth to feed. He married, and brought a girl as poor as themselves to the little stone cabin above the olive trees. She was the daughter of a blind cobbler, and carried with her no dower whatever except her shining brown eyes and her broad happy smile. She died in childbed tw^o years later and left a little boy behind her, who in his turn was calle...d Rinaldo, 'Naldo, or Naldino, in the mouths of the country people.
The elder Rinaldo at thirty years old looked fifty, for he worked so hard and ate so little ; he was always on his legs and out in all weathers ; and the soles of his bare feet were hard as horn, and the skin of his face and throat was burnt brown and lined like a crumpled autumn leaf But he kept his gay and pleasant humour to the last, and was quite content with his lowly lot ; he could run io8 RINALDO into the city as fast as a hare scuds before the hounds, and could labour at odd jobs all the day- through on nothing but a bare crust and a pipeful of tobacco.
