Book Description
Excerpt from Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans: From Mitchelet's History of France Our prosy American homes need to be illuminated by the presence of heroines and of heroes. Long enough have the shadows of the bloodless personages of mere fiction rested upon the hearthstone. Life and his tory are always stranger than the day-dreams of fancy; they can satisfy the cravings of imagination, while they feed the heart and instruct the mind. We hunger for the real, and our souls grow strong when nourished with deeds sublime. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
