CHURCHILL, Winston S.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Joan of Arc. First separate edition, extracting from Churchill's History of the English-Speaking Peoples the narrative of one of his heroines: "the noblest patriot of France, the most splendid of her heroes, the most beloved of her saints". Langworth comments that "This work enjoyed a very limited run and is the scarcest of all extracts from Churchill's History. In 15 years of bookselling I have encountered three copies" (p. 334).
