"The Story of Joan of Arc" by Maurice Boutet de Monvel recounts the remarkable life of one of history's most iconic heroines. Set during the Hundred Years' War, the narrative follows Joan, a young peasant girl who believes she has received divine visions directing her to support Charles VII and drive the English from France. As she rises to prominence, leading troops to pivotal victories, her courage and faith inspire a nation. However, her journey takes a tragic turn as she faces betrayal and trial, ultimately becoming a martyr. This beautifully illustrated retelling captures the essence of her bravery and conviction.

Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc was born in a small French village during the worst period of the Hundred Years' War. For generations, France had been besieged by the British. At age 11, Joan began to see religious visions telling her to join forces with the King of France. By the time she was a teenager, she was leading troops into battle in the name of her country. Though she was captured and executed for her beliefs, Joan of Arc became a Catholic saint.
