Description

This is a biography of Joan of Arc, a fifteenth-century French peasant girl who believed she received divine instructions from God to lead French armies against the English during the Hundred Years' War. The book recounts how she was captured, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake, before eventually being canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. The biography includes a prayer and a glossary of terms for young readers.
