What reading level is The Forest of Arden book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What would you? They are anxious to have one more short day of pleasure ere begins their year of grinding toil. What wonder that they drink to ex- cess on this last day of sweet liberty, forgetful for the moment of the morrow? Some time during the night the gens d'arme put a stop to the organ, ordered the drinking shop closed, and hustled the boys and girls off to their different lodging places. We heard the commotion all dimly as in a dream, for we had had a hard day's journey along rough road...s. Our wanderings in the morning brought us to the river bank, where, under the willows and poplars, were rows of women kneeling in a sort of square box or boat called a bachot, which protects them from the 134 BOUILLON wet. There is a rude washboard set up on some stones before each. The inclined plane rests in the water, and on this the washwoman rinses the linen and beats it with a wooden paddle, also dealing as hard blows to the reputations of her neighbours. This spot is facetiously called the Place des Bavardes, literally "Babblers' Place, " and the lively voices and sharp retorts sometimes drown the sound of the beat- ing of the paddles.
