The Valley of Adventure is a 1926 Australian novel by E. V. Timms.[1] In the novel, a father and his sons discover a map that takes them to a hidden valley.[2]
The novel was well received. Table Talk called it "quite a thrilling book of adventure with an Australian setting, which will appeal to boys especially."[3] The Bulletin wrote, "The boy who does not devour this veracious chronicle with a galloping appetite is no boy."[4]
