What reading level is The Interesting Story of the Children in the Wood An Historical Ballad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The parents being dead and gone, The children home he takes, And seems to soften all their moan, So much of them he makes : But had not kept the little souls A twelvemonth and a day, But in his breast a scheme there rolls, To take their lives away.
He bargain'd with two ruffians stroDg, Who were of furious mood, To take away these children young, And slay them in a wood.
Then gave it out both far and near, That he them both did send To town for education there, To one who was their friend.
Away
... the little babes were sent, Rejoicing with much pride; It gave them both no small content, On horseback for to ride : They prate and prattle pleasantly, As they ride on the way, To those who should their butchers be, And work their lives decay.
The pretty speeches which they said, Made one rogue's heart relent ; j For though he undertook the deed, He soi'ely did repent.
The other still more hard of heart, Was not at all aggriev'd, j And vow'd that he would do his part, For what he had receiv'd.
