About this ebook
Joan of Arc was a young farm girl who claimed to have heard the voices of saints. She led an army in many battles to drive the English out of France and put the rightful King on the throne.
After she was captured, the King and the armies did nothing to help her. She was sold to the English and put on trial for crimes against the Church. Joan was convicted and burned at the stake.
She was nineteen years old when she died.
Find out about the life of this girl who fought for France against the English, and was burned at the stake for wearing men's pants!
Ages 8 and up.
