'A Hell of a Calling Card' : Patrick White's Jackeroo Epic Is Finally Reissued, Peter Craven , single work criticism

Peter Craven concludes his introduction to Patrick White's Happy Valley by saying that the novel 'is a book we need to rediscover. It gives us White as a fledgling novelist, as fresh and wonderstruck and full of a desire to recreate the world as ever Australia was blessed with.'
