What reading level is The Isle of Wight book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It offers pictures from almost every standpoint, and the crumbling bits of masonry, 22 Quarr Abbey seen in a setting of trees or brushwood, carry continual delight to the observant eye. Caris- brooke well deserves the homage it receives.
The tiny priory of Carisbrooke formed a cell to a more important monastery^ The monks were French Benedictines, with which Order the island has always been popular. Its ancient connection with France, combined with its own peacefulness, seems to have drawn them... irresist- ibly. Of these settlements, those at Quarr, near Ryde, and Appuldurcombe are the most famous. Quarr was founded by the same Baldwin de Redvers who built the well at Carisbrooke, and so richly endowed was the abbey that the abbot became a personage of great consequence and dignity. By licence of Edward III. A sea-wall was built, enclosing an area of 40 acres ; the wall was designed to prevent the unwelcome visits or sea-pirates, who at one time were a scourge. Many distinguished persons were buried in the abbey, including a daughter of Edward IV.
