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

Four waiters came in bearing asurprisingly monstrous object, something that resembled an impossiblylarge pie. They, placed it carefully in the center of the table. Thenegro chorus swelled louder and louder--"Four and Twenty Blackbirds Bakedin a Pie. " The diners, startled into curiosity and then into interest, began to poketheir noses against this gigantic creation of the baker. In it theydetected a movement not unlike a chick's feeble pecking against the shellof an egg. A quicker movement and ...the crust ruptured at the top.
A flash of black gauze and delicate flesh showed within. A cloud offrightened yellow canaries flew out and perched on the picture frames andeven on the heads and shoulders of the guests.
But the lodestone which drew and held the eyes of all the revellers wasan exquisitely slender, girlish figure amid the broken crust of the pie. The figure was draped with spangled black gauze, through which the girl'smarble white limbs gleamed like ivory seen through gauze of gossamertransparency.
