Ah Big Yaws?
First published in 1972, this lighthearted linguistic study of South African spoken English became a well-loved book among South Africans at home and abroad. Unique and humorous, the book was actually adopted by the BBC drama department as a reference for voice coaches when a white, urban, English-speaking South African accent was required. It is available again for a new generation of language lovers.

Creating Books for the Young in the New South Africa
This collection of essays analyzes the work of 29 authors and illustrators. South African children's and youth literature has a long history. The country is the most prolific publisher of children's books on the continent, producing perhaps the highest quality literature in Africa. Its traditions resonate within the larger world of children's literature but are solidly grounded in African myth and archetypes. The African diaspora in the U.S. and elsewhere have stories rooted in these oral traditions. Much has changed in South African literature for children since the 1994 transformation of the country. A field once dominated by all white and mostly female writers and illustrators has diversified, adding many new voices.

In the words of Ingrid de Kok, Cronin is "our most experimental, demanding and, despite his disclaimers, one of our most accomplished lyrical poets." Mote than a Casual Contact is his fourth, eagerly awaited collection.
