""The Maid of France: Being the Story of the Life and Death of Jeanne d'Arc"" is a historical biography written by Andrew Lang. The book tells the story of Jeanne d'Arc, a young woman from a small village in France who claimed to have been visited by saints and commanded by God to lead the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War.

Despite her protestations of innocence, Jeanne was found guilty and burned at the stake. Lang's book provides a detailed account of Jeanne's life, including her childhood, her visions, her military campaigns, and her trial and execution.
