Where can I read Wildfire in full?

The complete text of Wildfire is here, taken from Project Gutenberg eBook #2066 and divided into 1780 sections.

This page carries the whole of Wildfire by Zane Grey, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #2066, a public-domain edition, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains. It runs to 8896 sentences across 19 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 Wildfire divided for reading?

Wildfire is presented in 19 chapters, each split into sections of 5 sentences for steady reading.

Rather than presenting Wildfire as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 1780 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 19 chapters follow the divisions of the source edition, and each section carries a contextual illustration drawn from the passage it accompanies rather than a stock image.

Can I hear Wildfire read aloud?

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

Every sentence of Wildfire 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.
