book review

Joan of Arc: No other figure from the history of the Middle Ages has generated so many pop songs. Think about it a bit and you realise just what a grip she has held on generation upon generation. Indeed the poets, the writers, the film directors and the historians have used her as the Muse until the person has become but a light vessel for all of them to channel their views.

The real Joan of Arc is so much more fascinating than that. How did a 17 year old peasant girl become the Maid of Orleans? What did the Voices say? Did she say those words in her last meeting with Pierre Cauchon? Castor tries to answer these questions and others.

It is fascinating that so much survives from her trial because it was all recorded.

This Book: Eloise has always loved Joan of Arc. Noble, honest and brave, she was everything Eloise wishes to be. And on a bright sunny day in Orleans, Eloise has a very special daydream... A superb re-imagining of Joan of Arc by master storyteller and author of War Horse
