What reading level is The New Forest book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Towards Christmas time quite a large business, according to the scale of small profits, is done in cutting holly sprays with berries to deck the London butchers* shops and those in the towns nearer at hand. Another industry and source of profit is stripping the fallen oak trunks of their bark, which has a value in the tanning trade, and in the felling of timber and carting it away there is a demand for a considerable quantity of labour. Some of the commoners have a right to the digging of clay ...from pits, and the marl that they excavate has its vsdue for gardening and general agricultural purposes. A feature of the forest are the occasional huts of the charcoal- burners, which in places are in some number. Probably this is one of the oldest of the forest industries, and was in operation even before the Romans came there. It is said that the invading conquerors turned it to account in their pottery bakings. According to legend already told it was in the cart of a charcoal-burner of the name of Purkis, or Purkess, that King Rufus was conveyed to his last resting-place in Winchester, perhaps an unique record in history of the cart of a charcoal-burner for that regal office.
