What reading level is The Kensington Rune Stone An Address book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" While these runes were also else- 2«So K^ is the letter iJ with the e-rune set inside the circle. 2TThe variations represent the transition to the later alphabet; 8e« o below. See also the ballad fragment in runes in Alund. Page 75, or in Thorsen.
22 where published in modem times, as by Ole Worm, we cannot, however, find here the literary source of the Ken- sington runes, for these are a different alphabet. It may be pointed out, however, that runes are mentioned in Dan- ish ballads, in such
... a way as to show knowledge of the for- mation of runes in Denmark and their correct interpre- tation to a very late period. See note 71 in Thorsen'a volume, citing Gamle jyshe Folkeviser, No. Twenty, "Den elskedes Dod. " Thorsen concludes: "Den Dag i Dag leve saaledes "Runerne" endnu gjennem Folkevisen, — den er nedarvet umiddelbart og vilkaarlig fastholdt, og Kilden har vasret saa dyb, at den i Tidernes Lob bar kunnet bevare og forklare. " In subsequent pages of his work, Thorsen offers an abundance of evidence of the use of runes in Denmark in modem times.^* This we also find to be the condition in Sweden; and what is more, the preservation of the knowledge of runes and skill in the use of runes here received royal encour- agement, and we have every reason to believe that the practice of writing runes was not uncommon among the common man in Sweden until the last century.
