Reviews

Karoo Stories

"Meet the delightful, and sometimes quirky characters as they gather at stock-fairs, church services, coffee-shops, boys hostels, and under the starry night skies to share their experiences of the old Karoo. Karoo Stories will Delight" Graaff Reinet Advertiser, July 21.

"Theron Crawford has taken four men from completely different backgrounds and written them into an emotive and realistic record of the South African Border War.Well written, by an author who actually fought in the Angolan Bush War, this is a poignant novel based on the realities and futility of war." Africa Talked, Nov 21.

"Theron Crawford takes the reader on a heartfelt journey through the dramatic events of the time. The backdrop he paints is a chronologically correct and factually accurate account of the Anglo-Boer War." SCRIBD, May 23.

I finally got to indulge myself in the book you blessed me with ‘My Fathers Child.’
I just wanted to thank you once again for the book. And a super big thank you for your autograph!!!! I’m so grateful.
I thoroughly enjoyed the read and was captivated emotionally throughout the book ( and what a emotional stir up it was , the tension, anticipation, hope, joy, frustration, anger, relief , etc. ) And the fact that it is of our own historical background makes it more captivating. Maria being her own person and refusing to surrender and endure for so many years! Inspiring.
Wow! You are a brilliant author. I very much appreciate your writing style.
I absolutely have to read Karoo Stories and Omutenge.

Thank you Mr. Crawford

Kindest Regards
Charlene.
