Five Handwritten Letters by Samuel C. Cronwright Schreiner to T. Fisher Unwin regarding publication of his book on The Angora Goat

Samuel Cron Cronwright (1863-1936) was a farmer, politician, author and biographer of his wife Olive Schreiner, author of The Story of an African Farm. After his marriage to Olive he changed his surname to the hyphenated Cronwright-Schreiner. They settled in De Aar in 1907 and remained there until Olive's death in 1920, after which he moved to Cape Town. His biographical writings on his wife are significant, although his manner of approach was controversial as he destroyed letters which he deemed unimportant and published letters and writings which Olive expressly stated in her will should never be made public.

Works from his pen include "The Land of Free Speech" (1906), "The Migratory Springbucks of South Africa" (1925), and, the title relating to this listing, "The Angora Goat and a Paper on the Ostrich" (1898).

These five letters are a handwritten correspondence from Cronwright-Schreiner to Thomas Fisher Unwin regarding the publication of his book on the Angora Goat.
