Harper and u0026 Brothers Publishers, 1919. First Illustrated Edition. Cloth.Many people don't know that Mark Twain wrote a book about Joan of Arc, let alone this second, less-known piece of art. This book is a rare jewel of a find. I've seen it categorized as a children's book, but in my opinion this isn't at all an accurate category. The book is written with Twain's obvious devotion and scholarly knowledge extolling the virtues and deeds of and "this most marvelous child and ". The impeccable writing of Twain seems perfect amidst the exquisite illustrations and unique sketches upon the margins of each page. The thick, rough cut pages add to the overall charm of the book, making it a one-of-a-kind treasure.
