What reading level is The Ruined Abbeys of Yorkshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bernard himself had interposed and the decree of the Chapter of Savigny had been confirmed by a council of the order at Citeaux that the arrangement was absolutely and irrevocably clenched. Roger, Abbot of Byland, did his part by summoning a chapter, and, "with a long and deep sigh," nominating John of Kinstan as abbot of the new house ; whereupon the monks raised him in their arms and carried him to the high altar, saying, " Thou art Abbot of Joreval." Soon afterward, Abbot John, having been s...olemnly blessed after the vigilice nocturnce, set forth with twelve monks for Joreval.
Of the manner of his journey, and how he " had Christ Himself for a guide," we have left ourselves but little space to discourse. As the new abbot rested the first night in a certain village, he had a dream. He thought he was once more starting from Byland, and as he left the cloister he saw in the midst of it a very noble woman in seemly raiment. In her left hand she led a beautiful boy, whose face shone like the moonlight.
