"The White Owl," by Edmund Snell, quivers with the literary hocus pocus that affords mental relief in a materialistic age. Two adventurers, searching for an Aztec temple containing a deity, which flourished before the Spanish conquistadores overran Mexico, find it, and on opening the covering of a shaft one of them is carried down into its fathomless depths by a huge white owl. There appears to the survivor a girl, Naia, who tells him that his friend will reappear after twenty moons. The White Owl having been released, the hatred of the Aztecs for their Spanish oppressors is renewed, and a series of murders of Spaniards in various places in Europe follows, the White Owl with hideous green eyes continually appearing when the mysterious influences are at work. The vanished explorer and the girl Naia are always the instruments.

The Cult of the White Owl is a complex story about a man who became possessed by a White Owl that lived in his garden and resided on a limb of his Chestnut Tree. Before meeting the White Owl he was a mild mannered, hard working councilman elected by the people of Philadelphia to do a job and look out for their interests. Which he did faithfully. He married a much younger, and beautiful woman and his life changed dramatically. She shopped and the bills became enormous and his friend Tony McCane asked him to help start a camera club and have his wife pose along with her society girl friends. She was flattered and accepted. Things got more complicated until murder became a part of the game and blackmail.

History and art come together in this definitive discussion of the Chinese woodblock print form of nianhua, literally "New Year pictures." James Flath analyzes the role of nianhua in the home and later in the theatre and relates these artworks to the social, cultural, and political milieu of North China as it was between the late Qing dynasty and the early 1950s. Among the first studies in any field to treat folk art as historical text, this extraordinary account offers original insight into popular conceptions of domesticity, morality, gender, society, modernity, and the transformation of the genre as a propaganda tool under communism.
