What reading level is A Pixy in Petticoats book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They revert sometimes to their former state, when Devon was a part of the heavenly country ; or they lose their way, as it were, to find themselves, somewhere about the month of May, passing through some land that never was. Thus one reach of the Tavy passes through Arcady ; one reach of the Teign through fairyland ; one reach of the Dart through dreamland. And the dreams of that land are good !
Not many legends of the wild Cymric imagination remain. Arthurian legend has become forgotten.
Board...-schools have killed the pixies. Only the more vulgar fancies remain. One of them is connected with the Dart, which was originally not so much a river bring- ing water to the people as a god who demanded tribute from them. That tribute was a human heart each year — one year the heart of a maid, the next that of a man, and so on for ever.
In the vast and wild solitude of the moor it is curious to consider that here was once the Birmingham of Eng- land. Beside the rivers appear grass-grown mounds which betray the former working places of the tin- streamers.
