What reading level is The Myth of the Pent Cuckoo a Study in Folklore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And here, in the THE COUNTRY OF THE CUCKOO PENS 69 north-west angle of this important crossing, are the lands which the gradual course of history marked off as the county of Oxford.
The dense woods, too, which clothed these hills, bore an important part in making the district what it was. The name of the Chilterns the Ciltria of monastic chroniclers is believed to embody a British word cael signifying a wood ; for its popular interpretation as the " Celts' Hills " is quite impos- sible, seeing ...that our ancient forefathers knew nothing about Celts; and another account which would make it mean " chalk hills " cannot be borne out. These woods were notorious in old times as a hiding-place, first for the Britons when the Saxons drove them from the valleys, and then for the Saxons in their turn when they were dispossessed by the Normans, and again for thieves and robbers of all kinds to a much later date. Towards the close of the thirteenth century Brunetto Latini, the tutor of Dante, was travelling in England and left a record of his experiences in which he speaks of the dangers of this district when he passed through it on his way from London to Oxford.
