What reading level is Great Tales From English History, book 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
El Draque was a name with which to frighten naughty children, a fire-breathing monster whose steely, glittering scales‘remained impregnable’, wrote the sixteenth-century dramatist Lope de Vega,‘to all the spears and all the darts of Spain’.
By the 1580s, Francis Drake’s reputation provoked panic in the seaports of Spain and in its New World colonies. In a series of daring raids, the rotund Devon-born pirate had pillaged Spanish harbours, looted Catholic churches and hijacked King Philip’s si...lver bullion as it travelled from the mines of the Andes to the Spanish treasury in Seville. In his most famous exploit, during 1577-80, Drake had sailed round the world claiming California for Queen Elizabeth and arriving home laden with treasure. No wonder she knighted him — and that his ship the Golden Hind, moored at Dept-ford near London, became the tourist attraction of the day.
Now, on 20 July 1588, Sir Francis was taking his ease at Plymouth with the other commanders of the English navy, preparing to confront the great war fleet — armada in Spanish — that Philip II had marshalled to punish the English for their piracy and Protestantism.
