If you are looking for a good book to read about Joan of Arc and have limited funds then try one of the complete books available here online at MaidOfHeaven.com. The list below contains some excellent biographies by renowned writers.

Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by Mark Twain is an excellent fictional account of Joan of Arc's life. Twain himself considered this book to be his greatest work. Well written and easy to read it covers the entire life of Joan

Monk of Fife: A Romance of the Days of Jeanne D'Arc by Andrew Lang Another fictional account of Joan's life focusing on the Scottish soldiers that fought alongside Joan of Arc with the French. This book is also easy to read and entertaining but does not focus as much on the life of Joan as Twain's biography.

The Maid of Orleans by Friedrich Schiller is an excellent play about Joan of Arc by famed political philosopher Friedrich Schiller. The play does use a lot of "artistic license" so don't expect to get a completely accurate history of Joan's life but is is entertaining to read.

The Trial of Jeanne d'Arc by W. P. Barrett is the complete transcript of Joan's trial of condemnation translated into English. Not as entertaining as some of the fictionalized books about Joan but an extremely valuable resource for anyone wanting to really learn about Joan and her history.

Henry VI Part 1 by William Shakespeare is play very loosely based upon Joan's life. Yes this was written by "The William Shakespeare" but unfortunately it is not one of his better works. In fact, the historical accuracy is so bad that some have tried to claim that Shakespeare never actually wrote it.
