In Joan of Arc, Mark Twain has written a riveting and remarkably accurate biography of the life and mission of one of God's great saints. Twain labored for more than 12 years bringing Joan's story to life, and (those who) assume that the resulting book is a dry, scholarly work will be delighted to find a sparkling narrative filled with reverence and admiration. Joan of Arc follows the path of a young woman who, with nothing but an unshakable faith in God, rose from peasant surroundings to lead the armies of France to victory against England - ultimately paying for that victory with her life.
