What reading level is The Golden book of the Dutch Navigators book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The southern part of America was the private property of the Spaniards and the Portuguese. Anybody who ventured into those regions flying the Dutch colors did so at his own peril. Among his fellow-citizens Van Noort had the reputation of great courage. Nobody knew any precise details of his early life, but it was whispered, although never proved, that many years ago, long before the days of Hout- 163 DUTCH NAVIGATORS man, he had tried to reach the Indies all alone, but that he had preferred the... more lucrative profession of pirate to the dangerous calling of the pioneer. Since, however, all his privateer- ing had been done at the expense of the Span- iards, nobody minded these few alleged ir- regularities of his youthful days. And the merchants who drank their pot of ale at his inn willingly provided him with the money which he needed, bade him go ahead, and helped him when during the winter of the year 1597 he was getting his two ships ready for the voyage.
Now, it happened that at that time a num- ber of merchants in Amsterdam were working for the same purpose.
