What reading level is Queens' Play book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
DIEPPE, city of limes, was asleep. On the walls, at the bridge, on the broad city ports, the watch kept guard. The fishing boats had moved out. In the river, lanterns flickered where the galleys lay like whales, prow to quay, and the lighthouse shone over the bar. Inside, the streets smelt of herring and the new paint still fresh from the Scottish Queen’s visit; here and there an overlooked flag fluttered darkly, with the de Guise emblem on it.
All these dignitaries had now moved inland. Tomorro...w the Irish guests of the King of France would follow them; but tonight the comfort of the Porc-épic’s mattresses claimed them after the rigours of the sea, and the windows were dark.
La Pensée, the beautiful house of Jean Ango, late Governor of the Castle, was not lit; but at least one man there was awake. Unmoving by the quiet fountains of the terrace, looking down on the moonlit river through Jean Ango’s bowers, glimmering with the marble bones of Attic deities, Tom Erskine waited without impatience for a visitor.
