Where can I read Tante in full?

The complete text of Tante is here, taken from Project Gutenberg eBook #30115 and divided into 1988 sections.

This page carries the whole of Tante by Anne Douglas Sedgwick, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #30115, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains. It runs to 9938 sentences across 40 chapters. Each chapter stores a record of which sentences cover which part of the work, so nothing is quietly dropped between the source edition and the page you read.

How is Tante divided for reading?

Tante is presented in 40 chapters, each split into sections of 5 sentences for steady reading.

Rather than presenting Tante as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 1988 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 40 chapters.

Can I hear Tante read aloud?

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

Every sentence of Tante 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.
