“Butterflies in clouds accompanied her standard; pigeons miraculously fluttered towards her; men fell into rivers and were drowned; dead babies yawned and came to life; flocks of little birds perched on bushes to watch her making war.”
Sackville-West reveals the story of Joan of Arc, the French peasant girl raised in a country torn apart by the Hundred Years' War who ascended to military greatness and legend.
