What reading level is Curiosities of Olden Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Kiartan found his mother in bed, with all the premonitory symptoms 86 Ghosts in Court of the same complaint which had carried off so many others in the house. The lad passed the spectres, and going up to the bed of Thorgunna, removed the quilt and curtains and every article which had belonged to her. Then he pushed boldly up to the fire past the ghosts, and took a brand from it.
In a few minutes he had made a pile of brush- wood, and had thrown the bed-furniture on the top.
The flames roared up... around the luckless articles and consumed them. A court was next constituted at the door, according to proper legal forms, and Kiartan summoned Thorir Stumpleg, whilst Thord Kausi summoned Thorodd for entering a gentleman's house without permission, and bringing mischief and death among his retainers.
Every spectre there present was summoned by name in due and legal form. The plaintiffs argued their case, and witnesses were called and examined.
The defendants were asked what exceptions they had to plead, and upon their remaining silent, sentence was pronounced.
