Happy Valley is a 1939 novel by Australian author Patrick White. It won the 1941 Australian Literature Society Gold Medal.[1] White did not allow the novel to be republished in his lifetime. Not until 2012 would the book come back into print.[2] White had dedicated the novel to artist Roy De Maistre.
The book owed much to White's experiences as a jackaroo working at Adaminaby in the Snowy Mountains of Southern New South Wales.[3]
