W H Allen & Co, London, 1969. hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, and barcode. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket. Every schoolchild knows that Jeanne, Maid of Orleans, was a simple village girl who heard voices telling her how to save France, and was later burnt at a stake. Maurice David-Darnac sees the story quite differently. Joan, he says, was the bastard half-sister of the Dauphin which accounts for several events which are puzzling in any other context. The author claims, and advances evidence, that she was not even burnt at the stake. He reveals many fascinating facts of Anglo-French history in this controversial book.
