A children's biography about Joan of Arc told with clarity, simplicity and vivid drama, aided with powerful, yet graceful, illustrations. The text mixes the high adventure of Joan's crusade with the maiden's most personal reactions to the dramatic events engulfing her life: her fear and then her joy at the appearance of her Voices; her bravery through war and inquisition; and her grief and anxiety when she is betrayed and tossed into the arms of her enemies.
