What reading level is Shakespeare's England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Soon is heard the rolling click of oars, and then two or three dusky boats glide past the ship, and hoarse voices hail and answer.
A few stars are visible in the hazy sky, and the breeze from the land brings off, in fitful puffs, the fragrant balm of grass and clover, mingled with the salt odours of sea-weed and slimy rocks. There is a sense of mys- tery ove
