What reading level is Highways And Byways in Nottinghamshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Honour to the woods unshorn !
226 DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FOREST CHAP.
Honour to the Lincoln green ! Honour to the archer keen ! Honour to tight Little John And the horse he rode upon ! Honour to bold Robin Hood Sleeping in the underwood ! Honour to maid Marian, And to all the Sherwood clan !
The charms of the Forest of Sherwood still await their true and inspired interpreter. To. Say that is not to disparage the merit of many a writer who has sincerely felt its beauty and striven to set down his f...eelings on the printed page. Many an agree- able chapter has been written in the vein of mingled description and moralising. But moralising without inspiration is indifferent stuff. Washington Irving, who came questing down the glades of Sherwood in a leisurely way a century ago, has perhaps written best, but one feels that even he was merely paying his respects to the patriarchs of Sherwood as a matter of duty. Then there is William Howitt, most respectable and blameless of moralists, but Howitt wrote as though he were perpetually engaged in improving his own mind and that of the reader.
