What reading level is London Under book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The London Silver Vaults are below the ground of Chancery Lane, and the Crown Jewels were until recently kept in a bunker beneath the Tower.
The temptation to bury precious objects is very strong, especially in times of danger. Criminal fraternities may bury their gains for many months before retrieving them. Jewels, coins, gold and silver plate, will still lie under the ground. If they could be unearthed, they would dazzle the city. A hoard of Roman gold coins, placed within a purse and the...n within a box, has been found in the City of London. During the Great Fire of 1666 Samuel Pepys buried his Parmesan cheese and wine in his London garden. His was an ancient instinct. The underworld, however, is not always safe. In the same conflagration the booksellers of St. Paul’s Churchyard put all their stock into the parish church of St. Faith’s, in the crypt of the cathedral, but the collapsed roof of the cathedral broke through. When the booksellers opened the vault the rush of air made the paper leap into flames and the books burned for a week.
