1919 MARK TWAIN 1ed Saint Joan of Arc Recollections Jeanne dArc Howard Pyle ART
“Saint Joan of Arc” is a 20th-century book written by the renowned author Mark Twain and illustrated by Howard Pyle. This book chronicles the life and achievements of Joan of Arc, a young woman who led the French army to victory during the Hundred Years War. The book includes four tipped-in color plates, enhancing the storys visual appeal. Twain regarded this book as his favorite work, and his words attest to its exceptional quality:
“I like Joan of Arc best of all my books; and it is the best; I know it perfectly well. And besides, it furnished me seven times the pleasure afforded me by any of the others; twelve years of preparation, and two years of writing. The others needed no preparation and got none.”
Twains historical work provides readers with a unique perspective on Joans journey and the events that shaped her heroic life. Twains impeccable writing is combined with Pyles stunning illustrations.
