What reading level is The Camp of Refuge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such of the monks of Ely, and such of the Saxon lay lords as had given him their attendance to the water-side, stood a-tip-toe on the river-bank, and strained their eyes to see, and opened THE DANES AND THEIR KING'S SON 269 wide their ears to hear ; but nothing came from Knut but an Ah ! and an Oh ! and a loud hiccup ; and the galley being unmoored and the rowers on their banks, Knut waved his hand, and the vessel glided down the river towards Lynn.
That very night the town of Lynn, which had r...eceived the Danish fleet in all friendship and with much hospitality, was plundered and set fire to ; and before the next night the whole fleet had quitted the Wash and the English coast, and was in full sail for Danemarck, loaded with the plunder of England and with the money which had been again paid by the Normans as the price of Danish treachery.
Even while he was lying in the river Thamesis with his great fleet, and was seeming to threaten the Tower of London, Knut received on board envoys and rich presents from Duke William, and was easily made to sign a treaty of amity and alliance with the Normans, even as his uncle Osbiorn had done the year before.
