What reading level is Folk Stories of the Northern Border book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Loch Lomond, with her two dozen islets, has long- sheltered the manufacturers of the genuine peat reek from the scent of the Revenue officers ; but this must be the very para- dise of smugglers, should such a trade ever become profitable in Upper Canada — and a hopeless business it will be for excise men who are sent to ferret them out.
Towards evening it began to rain ; but some of the com- pany on board were more disagreeable than the weather. * * * * But for their presence, I could have endu...red the rain for an hour or two, to listen to the boat songs of the Canadian voyagers, which in the stillness of the night had a peculiar pleasing effect. They kept time to these songs as they rowed ; and the splashing of the oars in the water, combined with the wildness of their cadence, gave a romantic character to our darksome voyage.
In most of the songs, two of the boatmen began the air, the other two sang a response, and then all united in the chorus. Their music might not have been thought extremely fine, by those whose skill in concords and chromatics forbids them to be gratified but on scientific principles.
