What reading level is The Maid Marvellous book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" You men of England," so ran the letter, " who have no right to this kingdom, the Lord of Heaven commands that you quit your strong places and return to your own country, or I will cause you such an overthrow as shall never be forgotten. I write to you for the third and last time ; I will not write again." The enemy gave neither sign nor answer, and on the morrow Jeanne struck home. It was a fast-day, yet no fast was kept ; the 54 ORLEANS Maid of Orleans had other fish to fry. By means of a br...idge of boats and the islet of Aignan she threw her army across the river, and attacked the fort of the Augustins.
First all went prosperously, but presently the garrison from Fort Saint Prive rode to the rescue, and the French wavered and broke. Only the Maid still sat her horse unmoved, while the crossbows volleyed arrows and the culverins spat stones.
" Follow me," she cried, " if there be a dozen of you that are not cowards \ " It was enough ; the flying squadrons wheeled, and as the sun went down below the brimming Loire, the ensign of the fleur-de-lys floated gaily from the ramparts.
