About This Item
London, Sydney: Collins, 1974. 1st. h/b. Near fine, 1st edition, unclipped d/j (in protective sleeve), brown clothbound boards, gilt spine titling; text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked (some yellowing). 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). The story of Joan of Arc has always held a special fascination for writers - among them Voltaire, Mark Twain, George Bernard Shaw and Jean Anouilh. Here Thomas Keneally transforms the legend, presenting a Joan who is at once a tough radical, an instinctive soldier, a nagging prophet and a touchingly vulnerable girl - a haunting and compelling heroine framed by the tumultuous times in which she lived.
