This page carries the whole of Farmington by Clarence Darrow, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #54018, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains. It runs to 2099 sentences across 23 chapters.

How is Farmington divided for reading?

Farmington is presented in 23 chapters, each split into sections of 5 sentences for steady reading.

Rather than presenting Farmington as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 420 sections of 5 sentences each. A section is short enough to hold in mind at once, which suits a reader working in a second language or returning to a long work in short sittings. The sections are gathered into 23 chapters.

Can I hear Farmington read aloud?

Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of Farmington can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.

Every sentence of Farmington can be played aloud, and so can any single word within it. Tapping a word plays it on its own and opens its dictionary entry, with the pronunciation shown in IPA alongside the part of speech and meaning. The reading voice uses United States English. This matters most for a work of this period, where a reader meets vocabulary and turns of phrase that are no longer in daily use and cannot be guessed reliably from spelling alone.
