What reading level is Devon, the Shire of the Sea Kings book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a matter of fact both the elevation of Exmoor and its superficial extent are much less than those of Dart- moor, but whereas the land rises at least 800 feet before the outside limits of Dartmoor are reached, Exmoor springs, as it were, from the sea to its full height. The Tors, which form one of the great features of Dartmoor, are entirely absent from "rounded and lumpy" Exmoor, which in remote times, with the Black Down as its continu- ation, served as the great barrier to the Damnonii, th...e only portal being that of Dulverton. At no point does Exmoor itself attain an altitude much greater than that of the Bodmin Moors. The sylvan scenery to the south of Exmoor, where the valleys are watered by the Yeo, the Bray, and the Mcle, mav be described as pleasing rather than striking, and Mr. Baring-Gould does not appear to credit Exmoor with either the splendours of the Lyn Valley, or the grandeur which certainly distinguishes parts of the tree-clad hills through which the sister streams, the Exe and Barle, flow over rocky beds to their junction to the south of Dulverton.
