Dead Famous: Joan of Arc and her Marching Orders

You’ve probably heard of Joan of Arc. She is dead famous for: leading the French army into battle, going up in smoke when she was burnt at the stake, and being an absolute saint. But have you heard that Joan survived a crossbow bolt through her chest, loved writing cheeky letters to very important people, and made the King of France look like a complete twit? Yes – even though she’s dead, Joan’s still full of surprises!

Get the inside story in Joan’s secret diary, read the news that set France ablaze in The Gallic Globe... and find out exactly how a peasant girl of seventeen gave an entire army its marching orders.
