What reading level is The Light Dragoon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But other work than this was already cat out for us, and Buonaparte's unexpected return from Elba sent us to the place where we were destined to perform it. I never shall forget the effect which the intelligence had upon us. It reached us one morning, and in two hours after came the route to march for Dover, where transports lay to receive us; and by four o'clock on the following afternoon we were busily engaged swimming our horses ashore towards the beacn at Ostend.
It was* about eight o'clock... on a summer's evening when our disembarkation was effected. The process had been tedious, inasmuch as the transports were too heavily laden to approach within half-a-mile of the beach; and to swim horses through so wide a waste of waters is an operation that occupies a good deal of time.
Nevertheless, the regiment formed up as soon as circum- stances would allow, and began its march the same evening to Meuport. It was now that I found my knowledge of the German language greatly avail me.
Being sent, with a comrade, to quarter in a farm-bouse about a mile beyond the town, I so entirely won the hearts of the family, by speaking so as to be understood, that they vied with one another in their eagerness to make us comfortable; and, themselves undertaking to clean and fodder the horses, they kept us — no reluctant guests—all night at the supper-table.
