What reading level is The Day Gone By book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
school of high standing, a worthy peer of its old sports-field rivals the Dragons at Oxford. In situation it is not a true hill, the buildings, grounds and playing-fields covering a slightly raised, rather bare upland a mile and a half south of Newbury, which I imagine must once have formed part of the brackeny, birchy wasteland adjacent to the west.
The school was built and founded in 1888 by a certain Evans - the first headmaster. His son, Johnny Evans, was, in his day, something of a national... figure; first as an England cricketer and then, during the Great War, as an intrepid escaper from German prisoner-of-war camps. Later, in collaboration with one Major Harrison, he wrote a book about his exploits, entitled The Escaping Club. He made, I believe, three or four escapes, of which only the last, of course, was entirely successful; that is, he got back to England. For one of his escapes he used a file which was sent to him in a cake baked in Horris Hill kitchen.
During the Second World War, Evans formed part of an army organization in London whose job was encouraging and helping British prisoners-of-war to escape.
