Title: Chinoiserie Title Record # 96615
Author: Helen McCloy
Date: 1946-07-00
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: novelette
Language: English
Note: A mystery story set in 19th-century Peking. Borderline speculative--one character believes that the spirit of the ancient painter Wang Wei intervened in events, offended by one of his paintings being misappropriated, and the story leaves it ambiguous whether this is true.
