What reading level is The Shadow Show book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All that night crowded boats from the lake passed down the Chenar Bagh, and to me, lying abed in the houseboat, came fragments of music and song and laughter. It was festival night in the Happy Valley.
Sailing south from Bombay, some hundreds of miles, the traveller will come to Goa of the Portu- guese, and its small town of Panjim.
This futile little place, exporting coco-nuts, with a side-line in cabin stewards, has a history. Four hundred years ago Portugal took it. By the middle of the sixt...eenth century it was a city of 200, 000 souls, the richest in India. Great merchants owned its warehouses. Great men walked its streets; Albuquerque and Vasco da Gama were among its viceroys, Camoens knew it, he who was to become St. Francis Xavier lived here. Goa was early a famous headquarters of the Jesuits; from their college missionaries set forth for Malacca, for China, for Paraguay. As a re- ligious centre Goa's fame kept growing; it became GLIMPSES OF THE EAST 125 the see of an archbishop, and convents of the Dominicans and the Carmelites were built.
