What reading level is The Angler book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One of his companions was a ragged wight, with the skulking look of an arrant poacher, and I'll warrant could find his way to any gentle- man's fish-pond in the neighborhood in the darkest night. The other was a tall, awkward, country lad, with a lounging gait, and appar- ently somewhat of a rustic beau. The old man was busied examining the maw of a trout which he had just killed, to discover by its contents what insects were seasonable for bait ; and was lecturing on the subject to his compani...ons, who appeared to listen with in- finite deference. I have a kind feeling toward all " brothers of the angle," ever since I read Izaak Walton. They are men, he affirms, of a " mild, sweet, and peaceable spirit ; " and my esteem for them has been increased since I met with an old " Tretyse of fishing with the Angle," in which are set forth many of the maxims of their inoffensive fraternity.
" Take goode hede," saith this honest little tretyse, " that in going about your disportes ye open no man's gates but that ye shet them again.
