5.0 out of 5 starsNot just a book for kids....
By Mrs. Renfro on May 9, 2006
Format: Paperback
Once again, Diane Stanley has brought intriguing facts and interesting tidbits to a book about a well known character, Joan of Arc, which makes the reader interested and excited about the subject, no matter what age he or she might be. Joan was born an illiterate, peasant daughter of a leader in a French village during the time of the Hundred Years War between France and England. She was highly disciplined in Catholicism, and was often teased about it by her friends. At the age of thirteen, Joan began having visions, while in the family garden, of various Catholic Saints giving her distressing messages and that she needed to act in order to save the French Kingdom. Joan was so convinced and moved by these visions that she took on a life long task of saving the French kingdom, although a woman doing this would have been unheard of at the time. She was eventually captured by the Burgundies that occupied Northern France and handed over to the English for a ransom. She was put on trial by the church for dressing in men's clothing and for acting on her voices and visitations which should have only been heard by members of the clergy. She was found guilty, although she gave clever testimony and was not easily disrupted by tricky questioning, and eventually burned at the stake. Charles, the ruler that Joan help restore to the crown, made it his personal mission to have Joan's trial declared a mistrial sixteen years after her death. This act fueled by his guilt for not negotiating for her release from prison helped her to be declared a saint five hundred years later.

This book helps the reader realize that although Joan my have appeared unstable with her visions in modern times, she brought hope and life to a battle that was hopeless leaving many French residents in despair.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA role model for girls
By A Customer on January 11, 2001
Format: Hardcover
This is a beautiful book that I purchased for a seven year old girl. I am a medievalist and the depictions in this book of the clothing, etc. are true to fact. The next copy I buy will be for myself as I collect good children's books on medieval times. Every year I publish of list of children's book on this time period that I recommend in our group's newsletter and this book is high on the list.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe illustrations look like tapestries
By M. Heiss on August 23, 2011
Format: Paperback
This book is well-done, but Joan's story is depressing. Diane Stanley does a great job with the illustrations, making them look like medieval tapestries. Many times, it is difficult to tell which illustrated person is Joan (which does mimic the style of the times).

The author explains how Joan (and her followers) could possibly believe she had been visited by angels -- and believe in this enough to take action on it.

After the king was crowned, he granted Joan her only request: to exempt her hometown from taxes forever.

The illustration for the page where Joan is burned at the stake is mostly rooftops and crowds -- smoke from the chimney helps disguise the smoke from the stake. Not too terrifying, Moms.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent book
By S. Halstead on September 11, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My son asked me if there had been any female knights. I thought of Joan of Arc and ordered this book. He was 5 at the time I purchased it and it held his interest all the way through. The illustrations were beautiful and there was just the right level of information / detail. There were some spots where it was tough for me, as I was reading it aloud, to keep track of the timing as far as how many years this was all taking place through, but I think for the intended audience, that is fine, and we can delve further into it with more mature works as the kids get older. All in all, an excellent introduction to Joan of Arc.

5.0 out of 5 starsHigh quality, beautifully illustrated
By L. Beasley on May 9, 2008
Format: Paperback
Diane Stanley, author of a series of high-quality biographies for children, does it again: Joan of Arc is intelligent and interesting with eye-popping illustrations. Of course the story is tragic, so this is not a good first biography for the young, tender-hearted child. The only thing missing is a real sense of the supernatural, what drove Joan to do what she did in the first place. If you're looking for the miraculous in your retelling of Joan's story, choose instead Josephine Poole's breathtaking "Joan of Arc."

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful for kids
By Athena on June 3, 2001
Format: Hardcover
Not only was this an accurate portrayal of Joan of Arc's story, it was wonderfully written and illustrated. I would recommend it for anyone who is starting out in learning of the saint. It is educational and enjoyable for a child.

5.0 out of 5 starsDiane Stanley does it again!
By A Customer on April 11, 2002
Format: Hardcover
A beautiful book! Diane Stanley carefully traces the life of Joan from her humble beginnings to her tragic end. The book even comes with a pronunciation guide to help those of us who haven't been to France. Although the language is at 8+ year old range, my 5 year old daughter loves it anyway!

4.0 out of 5 starsGood book
By TXMOMOF2 on September 22, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
We finished this book for our level 2 Ambleside home school class and I thought it was an appropriate amount of information about Joan for the grade level of my child. Pictures were nice on each page and gave us a brief glimpse into the life of Joan of Arc. The tragic ending was hard to read about, but I think it was a great sound board for discussion about our faith and what we are willing to do to stand for what we believe in.
