What reading level is Storyology: Essays in Folk-Lore, Sea-Lore, And Plant-Lore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Rats, however, are not objected to ; indeed, it would be useless to object, for they overrun all ships. And rats are supposed to leave a vessel only when it is going to sink. A Welsh skipper, however, once cleared his ship of them without the risk of a watery grave, by drawing her up to a cheese-laden ship in harbour. He quietly moored alongside, and, having left the hatches open all night, cast ofF with a chuckle in the morning, leaving a liberal legacy to his neighbour.
The stormy petrel is s...upposed to herald bad weather, and the great auk to tell that land is very near. This is true enough as regards the auk, which never ventures beyond soundings ; but one doubts the truth of the popular belief that when the sea-gulls hover near the shore, a storm is at hand. The Scotch rhyme runs : ' Seagull, seagull, sit on the sand; It's never good weather when you're on the land 1' Mr. Thiselton - Dyer quotes from Sinclair's Statistical Account of Scotland, in confirmation of this belief, that in the county of Forfar, 'when they appear in the fields, a storm from the south- east generally follows ; and when the storm begins to abate, they fly back to the shore.' This does not accord with the present writer's experience of the west coast of Scotland, where the sea-gulls frequent the lochs and hillsides far inland all the summer, 7—2 I oo Storyology Naturally there are storms sometimes after their appearance, but just as often fine weather continues.
