What reading level is Coniston Tales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1346 the Fleming of Coniston was Sir John, who was succeeded in 1353 by his elder son Richard.
The ballad is such as would give the tradition of our local Robin Hood, after some generations had blurred and confused it. In 1350-60 there was probably no park, though there were deer: there were no tall chimneys, though there was a Coniston Hall : and it is not certain what was the age of the Springs bloomery, though I think it may have been in working about the time of the story].
When grass wa...s green and shaws were sheen Young Adam o' Beaumont's gone To hunt the roe and the fallow doe In the park of Cunningston.
For he has slain the proud Elland That did his father quell, And he has fled with his merry-men all To the woods of Furness Fell.
53 There's Adam, and his young brother, And Lacy, and Lockwood's Will, And Dawson tough, and Haigh o' the Clough That the sheriff's life did spill.
And they have ta'en to the Furness Fells Their outlawry to bide, But little they reck of the outlaw's doom And little their deeds they hide.
