What reading level is Lorna Doone; a Romance of Exmoor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then Parson Bowden read some verses from the parish Bible, telling us to lift up our eyes, and look upon the fields already white to harvest ; and then he laid the Bible down on the square head of the gate-post, and despite his gown and cassock, three good swipes he cut of corn, and laid them right end onwards. All this time the rest were huddling outside the gate, and along the lane, not daring to interfere with parson, but whispering how well he did it.
When he had stowed the corn like that, ...mother entered, leaning on me, and we both said, " Thank the Lord for all His mercies, and these the first fruits of His hand ! " And then the clerk gave out a psalm verse by verse, done very well ; although he sneezed in the midst of it, from a beard of wheat thrust up his nose by the rival cobbler at Bren- don. And when the psalm was sung, so strongly that the fox-gloves on the bank were shaking, like a chime of bells, at it, parson took a stoop of cider, and we all fell to at reaping.
Of course I mean the men, not women ; although I know that up the country women are allowed to reap ; and right well they reap it, keeping row for row with men, comely, and in due order ; yet, meseems, the men must ill attend to their own reaping-hooks, in fear lest the other cut them- selves, being the weaker vessel.
