Summary "A Heroine of France: The Story of Joan of Arc" by Evelyn Everett-Green is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the legendary figure of Joan of Arc, detailing her journey from a humble peasant girl in Domremy to a key player in the struggle for France's independence during the Hundred Years' War. The narrative captures her visions and divine guidance as she attempts to inspire the Dauphin to reclaim his throne, emphasizing themes of faith, courage, and destiny. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to a somber period in France's history, where knights reflect on the lost glory of their nation and voice their anxieties about impending dangers from English forces. The protagonist, Jean de Novelpont, hears about a young maid with a miraculous calling, who claims to have been chosen by God to save France. As Jean and his friend Bertrand discuss her tale, they learn of the maid's noble resolve to seek out the King and fulfill her divine mission. The narrative portrays her profound beauty, piety, and earnestness as she prepares to face the challenges ahead, all while depicting how the powerful aura of her convictions leaves a lasting impact on those who gel with her cause. The beginning establishes a powerful connection to Joan's character and sets up the challenges she must overcome in her extraordinary quest. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
