  • Joan
  • of
  • Arc
  • was
  • perhaps
  • the
  • most
  • wonderful
  • person
  • who
  • ever
  • lived
  • in
  • the
  • world.
  • The
  • story
  • of
  • her
  • life
  • is
  • so
  • strange
  • that
  • we
  • could
  • scarcely
  • believe
  • it
  • to
  • be
  • true,
  • if
  • all
  • that
  • happened
  • to
  • her
  • had
  • not
  • been
  • told
  • by
  • people
  • in
  • a
  • court
  • of
  • law,
  • and
  • written
  • down
  • by
  • her
  • deadly
  • enemies,
  • while
  • she
  • was
  • still
  • alive.
  • She
  • was
  • burned
  • to
  • death
  • when
  • she
  • was
  • only
  • nineteen:
  • she
  • was
  • not
  • seventeen
  • when
  • she
  • first
  • led
  • the
  • armies
  • of
  • France
  • to
  • victory,
  • and
  • delivered
  • her
  • country
  • from
  • the
  • English.
  • This
  • book
  • is
  • fully
  • illustrated
  • and
  • annotated
  • with
  • a
  • rare
  • extensive
  • biographical
  • sketch
  • of
  • the
  • author,
  • Andrew
  • Lang,
  • written
  • by
  • Sir
  • Edmund
  • Gosse,
  • CB,
  • a
  • contemporary
  • poet
  • and writer.
