A fascinating and historically accurate account of the story of Joan of Arc told by America's greatest storyteller.
Very few people know that Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) wrote a major work on Joan of Arc. Still fewer know that he considered it not only his most important but also his best work. He spent twelve years in research and many months in France doing archival work and then made several attempts until he felt he finally had the story he wanted to tell. He reached his conclusion about Joan's unique place in history only after studying in detail accounts written by both sides, the French and the English.
"I like Joan of Arc best of all my books; and it is the best, I know it perfectly well. It furnished me in seven times the pleasure of any of the others." - Mark Twain Quantity
