Book summaryMany books have been written on the legendary Joan of Arc, but not many have incorporated the surviving documents containing actual details of the young French martyr's life. This book, originally published in France in 1966, draws from letters by Joan and others, trial transcripts, church records, and histories of the time, as well as overviews of the many Joan of Arc legends that have arisen since her death. |
