What reading level is From Gretna Green to Land's End; a Literary Journey in England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

For in 1617 one of the village wags tugged a bear into the pulpit at the hour of service, and it was a full twelvemonth before the church was recon- secrated and worship resumed. Indeed, the Congleton folk had such a liking for bear- baiting or bear- dancing, or whatever sport it was their town bear afforded them, that when a few years later this poor beast died, it is told that "living far from Godly fear They sold the Church Bible to buy a bear." The old Cheshire, everywhere in evidence with ...its timber- and- plaster houses, distracts the mind from this new industrial Cheshire.
We visited Macclesfield, but I forgot its fac- tories, its ribbons and sarcenets, silks and satins and velvets, because of the valiant Leghs. Two of them sleep in the old Church of St. Michael, under a brass that states in a stanza ending as abruptly as human life itself : "Here lyeth the body of Perkin a Legh That for King Richard the death did die, Betray 'd for righteousness; 111 A GROUP OF INDUSTRIAL COUNTIES And the bones of Sir Peers his sone, That with King Henrie the fift did wonne In Paris." I have read that Sir Perkin was knighted at Crecy and Sir Peers at Agincourt, and that they were kinsmen of Sir Uryan Legh of Ad- lington, the Spanish Lady's Love.
