What reading level is The book of the Epic, the World's Great Epics Told in Story book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Beowulf, intently watching the fiend, seeing him stretch out a horny hand for another victim, suddenly grasps it with such force and determina- tion that the monster, notwithstanding frantic efforts, can- not free himself. A terrible struggle now takes place, in the course of which Beowulf and Grendel, wrestling madly, overturn tables and couches, shaking the hall to its very foundations. Nevertheless, Beowulf chngs so fast to the hand and arm he had grasped, that the monster, trying to free hi...mself by a mighty jerk, tears his arm out of its socket and disappears, uttering a blood-curdling cry, and leaving this trophy in his foe's grasp. Mortally wounded, Grendel hastens back to his marsh, leaving a trail of blood behind him, while Beowulf, exhausted but triumphant, proudly exhibits the huge hand and limb which he has wrenched from the monster, declaring it will henceforth serve to adorn Heorot.
When Hrothgar beholds it on the morrow and hears an account of the night's adventures, he warmly congratu- lates Beowulf, upon whom he bestows rich gifts, and in whose honor he decrees a grand feast shall be held in this hall.
