The Maid of Orleans

Ladybird history books are social history at it's best, from; I would estimate ages 8 to 14 for school use of simply to enjoy. They bring history alive for children, and are filled with fascinating information. As well as bringing alive an animated, exciting past, they also show how events of the past, are with us today, in so many fascinating ways. Joan of Arc by Ladybird, was first published in 1971, and written by L Du Garde Peach, with superb illustrations by John Kenney. Joan of Arc was a deeply religious country girl, with the practical commonsense of one who had worked on a farm since childhood. The English soldiers believed she was a witch and where afraid of her: the French soldiers believed she was a saint and followed her: the French courtiers and bishops where jealous of her and betrayed her. Joan of Arc freed France from English rule. Her story is the story of the nation-state , nationalism is a vital life force that will always live on , despite the evil minded fiends of the left who today tell the lie that the nation-state is an "anachronism" Long live the nation-state!
