Description

Her story is legendary, however it happens to be true: nineteen-year-old Joan of Arc led armies into battle all over the Hundred Years War and helped liberate France from English domination. Probably the most famous children’s books ever published, this elegant work recounts Joan’s wondrous transformation from peasant girl to military commander to Christian saint and martyr. 
Generations of artists and writers from world wide have drawn inspiration from Joan’s life, and she remains the most effective-known historical figures of the Middle Ages. Maurice Boutet de Monvel’s simple but moving retelling of her story includes a series of imaginative illustrations that won the artist international fame. All forty-five of the photographs from his 1896 deluxe picture book appear here in full color, reflecting the saint’s enduring symbolic power in addition to her deep humanity. An Introduction by Gerald Gottlieb is included on this edition.
