A free-verse novel about the life of Joan of Arc, a peasant girl who felt called upon by God to save France during the Hundred Years' War, defying gender convention in the process.
Acclaimed author J. Christopher Herold wrote extensively on French Historical subjects for an adult audience, but here gives a fascinating account of the life of Joan of Arc for a younger audience.
"David Elliott explores how Joan of Arc changed the course of history and remains a figure of fascination centuries after her extraordinary life and death in a fiery, evocative novel-in-verse."--Provided by publisher.
