What reading level is Sporting Days And Sporting Ways book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Baker, died, aged eighty- three, on May I5th, 1807. He was a typical old- fashioned English sportsman, and was descended from a very ancient family, who for centuries have held considerable estates in the county of Durham, one of his direct ancestors being Sir George Baker, Knight, who was one of the loyal defenders of Newcastle- upon-Tyne during the Civil Wars. As a schoolboy of fifteen he was placed at a school some sixteen miles distant from Epsom, and the tempting announcement of " the Race...s, " with the celebrated Eclipse enrolled among the engaged, induced young Baker to propose to his fellow-playmates a visit (without leave) to the Downs, which met with a very hearty response ; and at early morn on the day of running, all took their departure, and reached Epsom in good time. " Here, " Mr. Baker said, " I first saw Eclipse, very like the prints which are published of his portrait ; but the Sporting Days and Sporting Ways figure of his jock I was then most amused at. There, " said he, " was old John Oakley on his back in a pair of quarter boots, or rather shoes to the ankle, coarse, blue worsted stockings, leather breeches, and an immense profusion of strings at the knee !
