The Virgin Warrior by Larissa Juliet Taylor
France's great heroine and England's great scourge: whether a lunatic, a witch, a religious icon, or a skilled soldier and leader, Joan of Arc's contemporaries found her as extraordinary and fascinating as the legends that abound about her. This title presents a portrait of Joan as a self-confident, charismatic and supremely determined figure.
"'If you have been looking for one book that explains how this remarkable teenage girl could accomplish all that she achieved, then this is it' Mack P. Holt, author of The French Wars of Religion 'This is an absorbing book that is almost impossible to put down.' Frederic J. Baumgartner, author of France in the Sixteenth Century 'This fine biography brings Joan fully to life not as a symbol for other eras but as a remarkable flesh and blood woman, who shaped her country and her times.'" Keith P. Luria, North Carolina State University"
