"Myrtle Rose White (1888-1961) was an Australian novelist. She is best known for No Roads Go By, a work of autobiographical fiction. Myrtle Rose White was the third child of Dina Ann (née Adams) and miner Mark Albert Kennewell. She was born in a tent near Broken Hill, New South Wales on 30 August 1888. She grew up in South Australia's Barossa Valley. Her education was sporadic before she attended a private school in Williamstown, South Australia. Following her marriage in 1910 to Cornelius White, known as Con, the couple moved to Lake Elder in South Australia, where he managed a rural property. This later served as the setting for her first book, which was favourably compared with Mrs Aeneas Gunn's We of the Never Never. Originally published in 1932, a new edition was released by Angus & Robertson in 1954, incorporating illustrations by Elizabeth Durack."
