SUMMARY: Personal recollections of Joan of Arc is a wonderful example of
the use of story-telling to make historical events come to life. Using a real
character from Joan’s life he created fictional events that opened a window
into the actual events that occurred in her life leading up to the heroic feats
she accomplished in the war and eventually her death. His writing though at
times laborious to read, in true Mark Twain fashion, includes humor, wit, and
emotion unlike any other telling of Joan’s life.
