Description
Published in 1896, this work purports to be the found memoirs of Joan's page and secretary, Louis de Conte. Twain considered this, his last published novel, to be his greatest; his lifelong fascination with Joan of Arc made this a fourteen year project. The novel follows Joan through youth, then as a commander of Charles&;s army, right up to her trial at Rouen.

When they visit a small village, Twain explores the reaction of the inhabitants and the twins' reaction towards...
