What reading level is London An Intimate Picture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From its name you expect something very fine, [101] LONDON: AN INTIMATE PICTURE imposing, impressive, a building, in short, worthy of the Guild of Guilds of the opulent City of Lon- don. None of those adjectives apply to the Guildhall. It is not even showy ; architecturally it seems a be- wildering mixture lacking even the homogeneity of the ginger-bread style, which it nevertheless resem- bles. After the great, massive, typically English buildings you have seen, it seems grotesque. How- ever, ...this outer shell (built 1789) dates to an age one does not associate with fine architecture. I say the outer shell, because a Guildhall there has been here at least since the twelfth century, and in the crypt through which you pass on the way to the museum, you still see the remains of the original building. From the vaulting you would suppose that the original Guildhall must have far surpassed its present descendant, theoretically the fortress of the " City merchant " — a combination of club, chamber of commerce, town-hall and much else be- sides.
