Andrew Lang Bless.Ed Press, Trumpet Publishing House
“They say: What say they? Let them say!”
A poor farmer's daughter who never learned to read or write. By seventeen, she was leading the armies of France. By nineteen, she was burned alive by the people she saved.
Andrew Lang wrote this retelling as a dedication to a real child, a young friend named Angela, with a warning built into the first page: some people will tell you Joan never existed, or that she was mad, or a fraud. Lang's answer is the whole book, drawn from the actual trial record, testimony given by Joan's own friends and enemies while she was still alive to be questioned.
Why this restoration
This edition preserves Lang's 1906 text in full, restored for a new generation of young readers without softening the ending or simplifying the history. The book includes its original features intact: a personal bookplate page, a dedication page, and a Bless.Ed Press Certificate of Reading for a child to complete once they've finished it.
Books That Benefit
Courage under impossible odds: A teenage girl leading grown men into battle, and winning.
Conviction versus consequence: What it costs to be right in front of people who need you to be wrong.
Historical judgment: Lang's own method, sourced from trial testimony rather than legend, so a young reader learns to ask for evidence before belief.
Who is it for?
Families, homeschoolers, and schools building a home library of real history for children, and any young reader ready for a true story that does not end the way they'll want it to.
