Thank God I've finally found this book! I've been looking for it for years as my children grew up with it. Due to many moves in my life, our only copy had been lost. This means so much to my children as their grandfather entertained them for hours at a time with the stories. What a joy to find this 'old friend' again! Thank you, Amazon.com

P.S. My children are all middle-aged now and have grandchildren!

I am a children's librarian and I have not read more delightful stories in a long time. When I was a child my mother would read the Hollow Tree stories to me and my 5 brothers and sisters every Christmas. It was something we always looked forward to with excitement. Now, after searching for several years have found these stories here at Amazon. We purchased several copies and my mother is now reading them to her grandchildren. She gets almost as much enjoyment out of them as the children do. I highly recommend this book!

If it is, don't hesitate to buy it--it's brilliant, brilliant stuff. I don't think I can exactly encapsulate it in a short review, but suffice it to say that as far as children's literature goes, this is more or less the last word. What I want to know is, where's HT Nights and Days? I see the other two here, but not that one. Bleh. Oh well...that's all I have to say. Really groovy stuff, this.

"The Girl in White Armor" is the abridged version of Paine's much larger two volume work "Joan of Arc-Maid of France". While lacking some of the detail of the larger work (among other things a complete translation of the trial) it is still a very well written and well researched book about one of the greatest(perhaps THE greatest) individuals to ever live. ....................................... Although between the two the larger work is the better choice, I highly recommend "The Girl in White Armor" to anyone, especially younger readers, who want to learn more about Joan of Arc. I consider myself fortunate to have both of the above named works by this author, who spent several years in France doing research and tracing the footsteps of the Maid. He brings understanding, compassion, honesty and love to the story of Joan of Arc.

I was only a girl when I read it. And I have searched many years for this wonderful book, So I could read it again. I never was able to find it. Good Luck....

I read this book 50 years ago, enjoyed the storyline and sang their song. I was delighted that it was still in print for my grandson (and me) to enjoy together. Some young memories tarnish with age. This book is as delightful today as it was in the 40s. Can't beat that for universality.
