Charles Williams wrote highly original and insightful novels that merge the metaphysical with the physical. In The Place of the Lion, he weaves a story of Platonic archetypes to illustrate the many ways in which the characters (and we) misuse, manipulate, abuse, or receive Truth. As educators, we have the high responsibility to rightly handle truth and to lead our students in the way everlasting. Williams helpfully exposes our proclivities and pitfalls so that we might more fully understand the truth about ourselves.
