Messenger: The Legend of Joan of Arc

This is a gripping and powerful story of Joan of Arc's short but inspirational life fighting for freedom during the One Hundred Years War between France and England.

Her story tells of a young woman who has an unflinching faith in God and in herself. It is also a story of someone prepared to risk everything in the battle for freedom and independence. This is a superb book for introducing readers to the iconic and historic figure Joan of Arc. It is an accessible, entertaining and inspiring interpretation of Joan of Arc's story, which is sure to appeal to children learning about the Middle Ages. It is written by New York Times number one bestselling graphic novelist, Tony Lee and beautifully and dramatically brought to life in full colour by illustrator Sam Hart.
