The Owl House by Anne Emslie is about Helen Martins' expansive and eclectic vision which embraces numerous cultural and religious sources. The Owl House is not a simple space to understand. It was the inspiration behind Athol Fugard's play The Road to Mecca and it has become a popular off-the-beaten-track tourist stop-over, particularly since attaining national monument status. Anne Emslie is considered to be the definitive biographer of Helen Martins. Profusely illustrated.
