What reading level is The Blackmore Country book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In any case, one must get away from the roads, the very 188 BAGWORTHY AND BRENDON 139 excellence of which is evil, as tempting to sloth.
I cannot, however, send forth an innocent person into the wilds without referring to the bogs. Personally, I have a considerable respect for Exmoor bogs, as I have for " they Hexemoor vogs, " which are equally treacherous, and make one wet through as sure and as fast as any rain ; nor is it so many years ago that Sheardon Hutch and similar names were sounds of... terror in my ears. Familiarity breeds contempt, and therefore those at home in the district — some of them, at all events — are apt to disparage these man-traps, which are not by any means confined to the low lands, but are found on the summits of hills, especially the notorious Chains. In many places black decayed vegetable matter has been accumulating for ages to a depth of several feet, and as the rocks beneath are of the transition class, impervious to water, the rain is retained and saturates the bog-mould.
