This book is such a departure from what we expect from Mark Twain that he had it published anonymously so readers would judge the book without prejudice.

I like Joan of Arc best of all my books, and it is the best; I know it perfectly well. And besides, it furnished me seven times the pleasure afforded me by any of the others; twelve years of preparation, and two years of writing. The others needed no preparation and got none.
