This elaborate and exhaustive work is the fruit of years of careful preparation.

"It has to do with the fierce wars of King Henry for the retention of his French dominions, and is filled with the fire and blood of the period. Yet, withal, it is of right gentle tone, and every line betrays the touch of the artist who wrote it."- Commercial Gazette.

"It is less adventurous in theme, the tone is more quiet, and the manner more in keeping with the so-called realistic order of fiction than anything Mr. Haggard has heretofore published. Joan Haste' is by far the most earnest, and in many ways the most impressive, work of Mr. Haggard's that has yet been printed. The insight into character which it displays is almost invariably keen and true. Every personality in the story is fully alive, and individual traits of thought and action are revealed little by little as the narrative progresses, until they stand forth as definite and consistent creations."- The Beacon.
