I think Twain's biography about Joan is the best fictional account ever written and I have the whole book posted online(it is in the public domain) at MaidOfHeaven.com You can find a link to the book at:

as well as some other fascinating information about Twain in regard to Joan of Arc.

As long as we have brought up Mark Twain here is a great quote by him about Joan of Arc being the greatest patriot which I will let stand as a rebuttal to those who questioned me for saying she is the greatest freedom fighter in history: "Love, Mercy, Charity, Fortitude, War, Peace, Poetry, Music--these may be symbolized as any shall prefer: by figures of either sex and of any age; but a slender girl in her first young bloom, with the martyr's crown upon her head, and in her hand the sword that severed her country's bonds--shall not this, and no other, stand for PATRIOTISM through all the ages until time shall end?"
