What reading level is Abb Pierre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is it any wonder that Napoleon said, "Give me an army of true Gascons, and I shall be able to charge through a hundred leagues of flame!" No, and a mere boaster is not much use in the face of defeat, either; but I have noticed that Gas cons ever keep a good heart in the midst of calamity, and greet misfortune more often with a smile than not, because they are brave and ever hopeful, and know how to make the best of even the worst situ ation. If one thinks he can get a Gascon into a place where ...he cannot help himself, he had better look out! For we Gascons are resourceful and we do not easily lose our presence of mind when we are in trying places. We Gascons, so prone to prov erbs and sayings, like this one : "If the land is sterile, sow it with Gascons ; they will grow anywhere. " We like it, I suppose, because it does us justice. That is the way we are. It is this intelligent resourcefulness, united with our boldness, that has enabled us to give France so many men who could conduct delicate affairs of state.
