In 1845, Thoreau began building a cabin at Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts.

Based on Patrick White's own experiences in the early 1930s as a jackaroo at Bolaro in southeastern New South Wales, HAPPY VALLEY paints a portrait of a community in a desolate landscape. It is a jagged and restless study of small-town and country life. This mesmerizing first novel is the missing piec...
