What reading level is The House of the Winds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A bucentaur, with her long red oars and a high- decked hull of Spain, They rode with the tubs that traded wool for the wine of Aquitaine ; 1 20 The Fleets With Black Sea tubs of the Genoese, with the cruisers of Algiers, With slavers, pirates, and corsair- men in their fighting privateers ; With koffs which carried the Dutchman's goods langsyne to the Javanese, And Mogul's ships that were fain to yield to the plundering Portuguese.
The fleets of the Nations gathered in, the fleets of the Nation...s grew, But the Fleet of the Little Islands spread till they counted six to two. Along the Downs and abreast the Sands, like a great cloud came they forth, And some went West to the Seas Unknown, and some to the South and North.
Then heard I a Voice from over-seas, and the Voice in thunders spake : " The spoil of the world is his for aye who courage shall find to take ; The codfish spawns on the Banks for him ; the bees of the Alp slopes toil, The fruits of the fruiting Earth are his ; the corn, the wine, and the oil !
