A word, a world.
Two glossaries help you understand the text without losing the story.
The word glossary
Look up a word or expression in its story context. A note can include a simple English explanation, pronunciation and an example from the reading.
prairie
A wide, mostly flat area covered with grass.
The culture glossary
Learn about a person, place, object or custom that the author expects the reader to know. These notes explain the world behind the words.
gingham
Cotton cloth with a pattern of small squares or stripes.
How to use a note
Select a linked word in a compatible ebook reader. Read the note and return to the passage. The glossary indexes also let you browse the notes.
These are illustrative examples. The notes and links in a complete ebook are tied to that particular book and edition.
