The Place of the Lion

A man's quiet life is upended by a series of strange, supernatural encounters — a lion-like figure, a mysterious woman, and a recurring dream — that force him to confront the hidden spiritual dimensions of the world around him. Charles Williams's 1931 classic is the opening volume of his Triumphant Church trilogy, blending metaphysical speculation with a gentle, mystical vision of the unseen forces at work in the everyday.
