What reading level is A City of Memories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1389 Richard took the reins of government, and after much persuasion prevailed upon Wykeham once more to accept the chancellorship, and to his advice is due the comparative quiet of the next seven years, though he only actually retained office for two.
And now the great day arrived when Wykeham's work was sufficiently completed to allow of the first " seventy faithful boys " to be received within its walls. On March 28th, 1393, all the good folk of Winchester, both lay and clerical, assemble...d to witness the opening of the college and to see the little band of scholars, headed by their master, come down from St. Giles' Hill, chanting psalms as they entered into possession of their promised land.
Since that time both dress and fashion have changed more than the stone walls, but standing in the almost unaltered quad- rangle we can picture to ourselves the fourteenth-century crowd who, partly from curiosity, partly from admiration of their bishop's work, would be pressing forward on that spring day to share in the proceedings — the poor in their rough untanned shoes, leathern breeches (galligaskins as they were called), and their smockfrocks of russet or undyed wool ; the richer citizens, though clad much in the same fashion, affected finer material, whilst those in longer dresses looked much like the Blue-coat scholars of our own day.
