What reading level is The Cornish Riviera book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" There is no doubt that generations of smugglers and wreckers existed allalong this exposed and dangerous coast, and the lawlessness of theCornish folk in such matters as smuggling, and pilfering from wrecks, earned for them a very unenviable reputation. The deeds of JackRattenbury, of Beer, and the daring exploits of Harry Paye, of Poole, fade into insignificance by comparison with the doings of John Carter, who was known and feared all along the wild Cornish seaboard. He wasknown locally as ...the "King of Prussia", owing, it is said, to hisresemblance to Frederick the Great. Be this as it may, Bessy's Cove, asmall bay a few miles to the west of Helston, has, since Carter's day, been known as Prussia Cove, a striking tribute to the power of thesmuggler. At this cove Carter widened the harbour, fortified thepromontory that overlooks it, and adopted the numerous caves for thestorage of illicit cargoes. These splendid and natural storehouses maystill be seen, together with the "King of Prussia's" house, and theremains of the battery he erected; for this intrepid smuggler did nothesitate to open fire on any of the king's ships that ventured withinrange of his guns.
