What reading level is Lancashire Folk Lore Illustrative of the Superstitious Beliefs And Practices book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The writer knows of cases in which the charm is said to have been effectual.
That whooping-cough may be cured by tying a hairy caterpillar in a small bag round the child's neck, and as the caterpillar dies the cough goes.
That Good Friday is the best day of all the year to begin weaning children, which ought, if possible, to be put off till that day.
That May cats are unlucky, and will suck the breath of infants.
That crickets are lucky about a house, and will do no harm to those who use them w...ell ; but that they eat holes in the worsted stockings of such members of the family as kill them. I was assured of this on the experience of a respectable farmer's family.
That ghosts or boggarts haunt certain neighbourhoods. There is scarcely a dell in my vicinity where a running stream crosses a road by a small bridge or stone plat, where such may not be seen. Wells, ponds, gates, &c. , have often this bad repute. I have heard of a calf with " eyes like saucers, " a woman without a head, a white greyhound, a column of white foam like a large sugar loaf in the midst of a pond, or group of little cats, &c.
