What reading level is The Downing Legends Stories in Rhyme book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The strand attained, he bounded swift L.ofC.
100 THE DOWNING LEGENDS.
O'er frothing rift and bowlder drift Until he found a frowsy kraal, Half burrowed 'neath the mountain wall, Whose naked folk had fled before That avalanche of eldritch steeds, But left upon their darkling shore A skiff that suited Downing's needs.
He launched in waves of speeding snow, He made the lumpish paddle quiver.
And flew as though Apollo's bow Had sent him whizzing down the river.
XLV I trow that every stream enchante...d Is passing glorious to behold; I trow its magic banks are haunted By goblin lords of mighty mould.
I trow those demons live in pleasure, Begirt with tower and castle wall.
And often tread the festive measure.
And banquet oft in princely hall.
And whoso reaches those dominions.
They look adown and beck him in Because they long for earthly minions To serve for them at feasts of sin.
Ah, bitter woe to dazzled mortals Who enter where the .fiends ordain !
For none who pass those iron portals Shall issue forth or smile again.
