Summary

She saved France when she was fourteen... She was burned at the stake for her efforts... Meet the girl who captured Mark Twain's heart. A forgotten masterpiece from one of America's greatest authors-and the last full-length novel he ever wrote-Joan of Arc follows the Savior of France from her childhood in Domrémy, to her campaigns throughout the French countryside, to her demise at the hands of the English and Burgundians. Mark Twain was sarcastic, witty, and oft-irreverent, but he had a soft spot for the Maid of Orléans. (As will you after you read this book!) He spent twelve years in research, two in writing, including multiple visits to the National Archives in Paris, and proclaimed Joan of Arc the "best of all my books!" If you love well-written classics of stunning historical figures, then this is the book for you
