What reading level is Through Normandy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Quentin is the monu- ment of Madame Marie Joly, the actress.
F F THE BESSIN, CHAPTER XVH. Arromanches — Bayeux.
HE country is much more richly wooded south and west of Caen than it is north and east. Towards Falaise there seems to be more forest land ; but on the road to Bayeux we came to plenty of corn land largely inter- spersed with the red sarrasin, the grain (buckwheat) from which the detestable bread is made which con- stitutes so large a part of the food of the French peasant. We tasted ...this bread in little loaves, and thought it exactly like putty, both in flavour and texture. Sarrasin makes the flour used for gaieties, which seem to take the place of bannocks in France, but are very inferior; there is a galette of very superior quality to be found in larger towns, but this is not made of sarrasin. It seems wonderful that such large tracts of ground should be used for such inferior produce — in even fertile districts, where one THE CHURCH OF NORREY, 435 would think a little good farming would soon treble the land in value, the cropping is poor — but of course the double system of cropping, which is frequent throughout Nor- mandy, must be a great drain on the soil ; and though the richly laden apple-boughs form an exquisite contrast to the waving fields of corn below, one fancies our grand, if mono- tonous, expanse of golden grain must in the end produce the most remunerative harvest.
