Just got this book in today and will be bringing it to the library soon. What a neat little book! It has a LOT of detail specifically about the siege of Orléans, the strategic role of Orléans in the big picture, and a favorite character from our parade, the “Bastard of Orléans.” This is more of a picture book with every page loaded with explanatory maps, medieval and contemporary illustrations, and photos of the real sites today. The text is straightforward, quickly laying out an exciting story of soldiers and military strategy with liberal use of quotes from Joan’s comrades in arms. Now I have the backstory behind many of the key battle scenes familiar to me from Joan movies. Suitable for adults and older children.
