What reading level is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such was the formidable rival with whom Ichabod Crane had to contend, and, considering all things, a stouter man than he would have shrunkfrom the competition, and a wiser man would have despaired. He had, however, a happy mixture of pliability and perseverance in his nature;he was in form and spirit like a supple-jack--yielding, but tough;though he bent, he never broke; and though he bowed beneath theslightest pressure, yet, the moment it was away--jerk!--he was as erect, and carried his head ...as high as ever.
To have taken the field openly against his rival would have beenmadness; for he was not a man to be thwarted in his amours, any morethan that stormy lover, Achilles. Ichabod, therefore, made his advancesin a quiet and gently insinuating manner. Under cover of his characterof singing-master, he made frequent visits at the farmhouse; not that hehad anything to apprehend from the meddlesome interference of parents, which is so often a stumbling-block in the path of lovers. Balt VanTassel was an easy indulgent soul; he loved his daughter better eventhan his pipe, and, like a reasonable man and an excellent father, lether have her way in everything.
