  • Summary

  • An audiobook of Charles Williams' 1931 novel 'The Place of the Lion.' When one seeker after truth succeeds in bridging the gap between this world and that of the immortals, he unleashes upon the earth the Platonic forms, strength and subtlety and suchlike, the physical manifestations of which call their followers to themselves. Soon, destruction is spreading throughout the small town of Smetham. Humanity has caused the breach, but can humanity heal it?
