The book narrates the life and adventures of Jeanne D'Arc, known as Joan of Arc, from her early childhood moments in the peaceful village of Domremy to her later extraordinary ventures that would lead her to become a legendary figure in French history. The narrative focuses on her vibrant character and faith as she navigates the joys of childhood during a time of turmoil. The opening of the tale depicts a lively scene that illustrates a children's festival in Domremy, capturing the essence of youthful innocence and camaraderie. Young Jeanne D'Arc, a spirited twelve-year-old, eagerly leads her friends in a joyful celebration of "Laetare Sunday," called "The Day of the Fountains." The festivities are momentarily disrupted by the tension of ongoing warfare in France, yet Jeanne rises to the occasion, showcasing her nurturing spirit when she helps a friend who has hurt herself. This early glimpse into her character hints at her compassionate nature and foreshadows her future role as a leader in troubled times. The chapter establishes a contrast between the lightheartedness of childhood and the ominous specter of war, drawing readers into Giovanni's world and setting the stage for her remarkable journey.
