What reading level is The Peacock's Pleasaunce book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It simply knows not what fear means in the garden when at watch over a man with a spade.
Last winter a robin tapped at our dining- room window, and insisted upon being let in. In the house it lodged and made itself at home until the April following. Every night the bird roosted in a difFerent corner in a difFerent room, upstairs or downstairs.
Every day at breakfast and luncheon it hopped on to the table and feasted, helping itself largely to butter in the morning and to cake at luncheon, &c. T...he confidence shown by such a little thing, in trusting itself among a household of large human people, was indeed touching. In February, when the family went south, the robin de- scended to the kitchen, living contentedly with the servants until wide-opened doors and windows proclaimed the spring.
But the most singular instance that I have known of a robin's fearlessness was the kind of military instinct, which some years ago led a pair to make their nest at the back of a target at Aldershot. It was in the shoot- ing range of the 4th battalion of the 60th Rifles ; and the Colonel of the regiment told me of it at the time.
