To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

At whatever season of the year this lake be visited, it presents, always granted that the day be a fine one, a charming and sympathetic 206 THE LAKES OF NORTHERN ITALY picture. In late spring, summer, and autumn the colouring is superb. In the little town of Orta itself — as, indeed, at Omegna, Buccione, and each village around the lake — the eye is met by a blaze of colour at every turn. Masses of scarlet gera...nium and cactus, of clematis, roses, lilies, and the lovely mauve-tinted flowers of the caper, tumble in luxuriant profusion over walls and picturesque loggie, and these loggie as likely as not are shaded by awnings of rich red or apricot hue which add to the general brilliancy. If we glance upwards, it is to look into a sky of deepest blue ; if our eyes wander down narrow streets, it is to meet such patches of colour as are supplied by fruit-stalls laden with water-melons, peaches, gourds, tomato — or, to give the last their more characteristic Italian name, jwma d'oro.
