A 1930 novel by Charles W. S. Williams. Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886 Ð 1945) was a British theologian, novelist, poet, playwright, and literary critic. He was also a member of the ÒThe InklingsÓ, a literary discussion group connected to the University of Oxford, England. They were exclusively literary enthusiasts who championed the merit of narrative in fiction and concentrated on writing fantasy. He was given an scholarship to University College London, but was forced to leave in 1904 because he couldn't afford the tuition fees. Other notable works by this author include: ÒThe Greater TrumpsÓ (1932), ÒMany DimensionsÓ (1931), and ÒThe Place of the LionÓ (1931). This volume is highly recommended for lovers of fantasy fiction, and it would make for a fantastic addition to any collection.
