World History Biographies: Joan of Arc: The Teenager Who Saved Her Nation (National Geographic World History Biographies) - Softcover
Around 1412, a baby girl was born in the village of Domrémy who would change France forever. A farmer’s daughter, she seemed destined for an unremarkable life. But as the dramatic narrative of this World History Biography reveals, Joan’s life was anything but ordinary. By the age of 13, she knew her destiny—to drive the English invaders from France. By 17, she had led an army to victory at Orléans. Captured in battle, and too poor to be ransomed, Joan was burned at the stake before her 20th birthday.

About the Author:
Philip Wilkinson has written nearly 50 books for adults and children. They range from his first book, Amazing Buildings, which won an award from the American Institute of Architects, to A Celebration of Customs and Rituals of the World, which was endorsed by the United Nations. He has also written several successful TV tie-ins, including What the Romans Did for Us and Restoration. Wilkinson lives in the Cotswolds, England, with his wife and son.
From Booklist:
Joan of Arc led an extraordinary life—from hearing the voices of saints exhorting her to put Charles the Dauphin on the French throne to fighting in battle to being burned at the stake. Unfortunately, Wilkinson makes this all sound as exciting as cooking oatmeal. What elevates the flat, albeit comprehensive, text is the crisp, attractive art and design work that uses photographs, illustrations (some with a three-dimensional effect) and historical artifacts to add interest, and in many cases, information. Two-page spreads inserted throughout the book offer a look at specific topics such as the "Hundred Years War," "Medieval Warfare," and "The Church." Small illustrated vignettes on such subjects as the power of prophecy add to the presentation. A final chapter does a good job of explaining Joan's legacy. Appended are a glossary and bibliography, which lists several books and four Web sites. Cooper, Ilene
