What reading level is A Tale of One City: the New Birmingham book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I confess, too, that I like to go into one of these big glass hives, orrather glass-making hives, and see the workmen at their "chairs" blowingand moulding the hot ductile glass into its appointed form and patterns;and I like also to see the curling wreaths of smoke ascend and disappearthrough the orifice at the top of the dome. And when I look at this Iwonder how that huge chimney is cleaned, and where the Titanic sweep isthat could undertake such a gigantic job. Well, I can hardly say Iwonder..., because I think I have been told that the way the soot iscleaned from these well-smoked domes is by firing shot at the roof, which brings down the dirt.
When in the winter season I see skates prominently exposed for sale inour shop windows I am reminded of another of the odd or rather sideindustries of Birmingham. I refer to the steel toy trade. The word toyseems appropriate enough when applied to skates and quoits, but seems acurious word to designate such articles of distinct utility as hammers, pincers, turnscrews, pliers, saws, and chisels, yet these articles andmany others of a similar kind are included in the words "steel toys.
