LG Coloring Book: Joan of Arc

The patron saint of soldiers and of France, Joan of Arc (1412-1431) spent a tragically brief time on earth, but her legendary fame endures. This book recounts the incredible story of the Maid of Orléans, a simple country maiden who answered a divine call to drive the English from her country and set the dauphin atop the precarious French throne. Twenty-nine black-and-white illustrations trace Joan's progress from farm to royal court, through her miraculous victory at Orléans and the dauphin's coronation, to her capture, trial, and execution. Dover Original. 29 full-page black-and-white illustrations. Introduction. Captions. Gregory Guiteras (Author)
