FOREWORD

The story of Joan of Arc is hardly a tale for young children, and, strictly speaking, this is not a children's book. It is, however, suitable to "younger readers," and to those older ones who do not care for a longer and more detailed relation.

Joan's story as here set down is history. Every episode and detail of it is from the sworn testimony taken at her two trials, and from authentic contemporary chronicles. Nothing is invented. From the first page to the last it is all true.
