Against the fascinating tapestry of Frances history during the Hundred Years' War, Diane Stanley unfolds the story of the simple thirteen-year-old village girl who in Just a few years would lead France to independence from English rule, and thus become a symbol of France's national pride. It is a story of vision and bravery, fierce determination, and tragic martyrdom. Diane Stanley's extraordinary gift to present historical information in an accessible and child-friendly format has never been more impressive, nor her skillful, beautifully realized illustrations (here imitating medieval illuminated manuscripts) more exquisite.
A biography of the fifteenth-century peasant girl who led a French army to victory against the English and was burned at the stake for witchcraft.

Joan of Arc
This is an excellently done biography of an honored lady of history. Of course the illustrations are beautiful as Diane Stanley's always are, but what impressed my 9 year old son and I most was the way Joan's story helped us wrestle with the question "Who are the good guys?" Up to this point, the British have often been on the "good guy" side in our history readings, but my son commented after reading this biography that he wasn't so sure who the good guys were now. I love that an engaging story of the life of a young woman from hundreds of years ago helped my son to think so deeply!
