What reading level is The Stirring Times of Te Rauparaha Chief of the Ngatitoa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their dwelling-house consisted of one chamber which was used for all purposes. Adults wore but scanty clothing, and young children none at all. As late as the 6th century of the Christian era, infanticide was practised, and the sick and aged and useless people were killed without compunction. Scandinavian traditions contain allusions to the practice of drinking the blood of a slain enemy, in order to acquire his courage and spirit. " Eating the heart " is a tradition deep rooted in Germanic myt...hology. The German warrior's favourite drinking vessel was one fashioned from the skull of a slaughtered enemy. The famous Alboin, King of the Lombards, after killing his father-in-law, Cunimund, caused a drinking cup to be made from his skull. This cup he had the inhumanity to send, filled with wine, to his queen, telling her " to drink with her father " an insult which deservedly cost him his life.
THE SACKING OF KAIAPOHIA 177 The following story of the siege and capture of Kaia- pohia is published in the hope that it will prove interest- ing not only to the general public, but especially so to those who have been born in the vicinity of Kaiapoi, and who may learn, perhaps for the first time, from these pages, the interesting nature of the locality with which they are so closely identified.
