What reading level is A West Country Pilgrimage book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Great is the contrast between these stricken ruins with death in their high tops, 79 and the sylva beneath sheltered by the granite hill. There beech and pine are prosperous and sleek compared with the unhappy, time-foundered wights above them; but if the spruces perish, they rule. The lesser things are at their feet and the sublimity of their struggle their mournful but magnificent protest against destiny makes one ignore the sequestered woodland, where there is neither battle nor victory, but... comfortable, ignoble shelter and repose. The river kisses the feet of these happy nonentities ; they make many a stately arch and pillar along the water; in spring the pigeon and the storm-thrush nest among their branches ; and they gleam with newly-opened foliage and shower their silky shards upon the earth; in autumn they fling a harvest of sweet beech mast around their feet. The seed germinates and thousands of cotyledon leaves appear like fairy umbrellas, from the waste of the dead leaves. The larger number of these seedlings perish, but some survive to take their places in fulness of time.
