What reading level is The Story of Silent Night book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wagrain today is a ski resort in the Niedere Tauern in the shadow of the Arlberg, gay, light-hearted, colourful with its hotels, chalets and winter slopes alive with tourists and holidaymakers. In the early part of the nineteenth century it was a collection of a few peasant huts and cowsheds and a small, poor chapel that could not even boast one of the more affluent onion-topped towers. It was also the end of the line for Joseph Mohr, the restless, soldier’s bastard and priest with the soul of a... poet.
After having wandered for some ten years from parish to parish, he came there at last as Vicar in the year 1828 and remained for twenty years.
He departed as destitute as he had been born, for it was noted that he left nothing behind but a worn and much darned soutane and his prayer book. There was not even money enough to bury him; he was interred at the expense of his community. All that is remembered of him is that he was loved, that the early fires of his youth subsided; he tended his flock, comforted the sick, presided at baptisms, marriages and deaths, instructed the young and served his parish of stolid country folk to the best of his ability.
