What reading level is Folk Lore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When used as a divining rod, the rod, if it were cut on St. John's Dayor Good Friday, would be certain to be a successful instrument ofdivination. A hazel rod was a badge of authority, and it was probablythis notion which caused it to be made use of by school masters. Amongthe Romans, a hazel rod was also a symbol of authority.
The _Willow_, as might be expected, had many superstitious notionsconnected with it, since, according to the authorized version of theEnglish Bible, the Israelites are s...aid to have hung their harps onwillow trees. The weeping willow is said to have, ever since the time ofthe Jews' captivity in Babylon, drooped its branches, in sympathy withthis circumstance. The common willow was held to be under the protectionof the devil, and it was said that, if any were to cast a knot upon ayoung willow, and sit under it, and thereupon renounce his or herbaptism, the devil would confer upon them supernatural power.
The _Elder_, or _Bourtree_ had wonderful influence as a protectionagainst evil.
