What reading level is Lady Ann's Excellent Adventure (A Regency Short Story) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Prince William Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh, was King George III's younger brother. His marriage to Maria Walpole, Countess of Waldegrave was kept secret from the king, who would never have approved his brother's marriage to a widow of illegitimate birth. The king did not learn of the marriage until after the passage of the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, which prohibited descendants of George II from marrying without the monarch's approval. (The Act is still in effect today.) The Act wa...s a direct result of the unsuitable marriage of another royal brother, Prince Henry, Duke of Cumberland. The king was furious to learn that his brother Gloucester, said to be his favorite sibling, had also married unsuitably, and in secret.The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester had three children, two of whom survived into adulthood. None of their children was named Ann. She is entirely an invention of the author. Had she been real, she would have been known as Princess Ann of Gloucester. Her styling in this story as Lady Ann of Gloucester is simply a matter of literary license.
