What reading level is Canterbury book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And they might have been, had the Danes not used their most deadly weapon fire.
As an old writer tells us : ' They brought barrels, and piled them together, and set them alight ; then they threw them on the roof, and their heat melted the lead with which it was covered, so that it ran down like rain on the poor men inside, who were like to be roasted alive. ' Then the brave Archbishop, gathering his monks round him, flung open the door, and begged mercy for his little flock of the wild heathen ...warriors, offering willingly to become a prisoner himself if they were allowed to go free.
It was in vain. All the monks except four, who managed to escape, were at once put to death, and Alphege was led away a prisoner not that the Danes wanted to spare him, but they hoped that the Saxon King might offer to pay a ransom for him.
But poor cowardly Ethelred thought only of his 40 ENGLISH MINSTERS own safety, and fled over the sea to Normandy, so no ransom came from him.
The country people, who loved their good Arch- bishops, did their utmost to gather enough money together to rescue him ; but he heard this, and sent messages to them, telling them to desist, ' for, as he said, * there is enough misery in the country without people being made poorer for my sake.
