What reading level is Place Names in Kent book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M OST islands are attached portions of the nearest mainland, severed in prehistoric times by subsidence of the intervening soil and the action of strong currents. Thus even England is a portion of the Continent, as its fauna and flora proclaim, while Ireland was severed earlier still. Thus also the Isle of Wight is Hampshire. So our Kentish islands, now only two and neither now to be effectually circum- navigated, are practically absorbed in the main- land. "Sheppey, Thanet — what else?" most w...ould say. Yet the early geographer Nennius, writing in the eighth century, has the following quaint passage: — "The first marvel is the Lom- mon Marsh" {i. E. , Limen, now Romney), "for in it are 340 islands with men and women Uving on them. It is girt by 340 rocks, and in every rock is an eagle's nest, and 340 rivers run into it, and there goes out of it into the sea but one river, which is called the Lemn. " Truly a pic- turesque account of the numerous spots, where drv land first appeared in the shallow bay, and the countless sluices which intersected them.
