Synopsis:
Almost 200 years ago, an Englishman by the name of Stamford Raffles landed on the shores of Singapore and the rest, shall we say, is history. A decade ago, another Englishman came to Singapore and left behind a wholly different kind of legacy. "Notes from an even Smaller Island", "Scribbles from the Same Island" and "Final Notes from a Great Island" are three widely-acclaimed offerings by Neil Humphreys detailing his own Singapore story of a man who came, who saw and who fell in love with the tiny tropical nation. "Complete Notes from Singapore: The Omnibus Edition" brings together all three best-selling books for an insightful account of one man's relationship with Singapore and Singaporeans that has spanned an entire decade.

About the Author:

In 1996, Neil Humphreys turned down a chance to become Dagenham's answer to Nick Leeson. The young Brit rejected a London stockbroker's lucrative offer to train as a floor trader and decided to travel the world instead. He ended up in Singapore and settled in Toa Payoh. By 2001, he was one of the country's best-selling authors. His first book, "Notes from an even Smaller Island", became an immediate best-seller and travelled across Southeast Asia, Australia and Britain. The book appeared on the Singapore best-seller list for over four years. BBC World said it was "a warts and all view of the city-state and celebrates many of the things most often criticised". Humphreys travelling companion, Scott, said it was "a load of bollocks". In 2003, his second book, "Scribbles from the Same Island", a compilation of his popular humour columns in WEEKEND TODAY, was launched in Singapore and Malaysia and also became an immediate best-seller. In 2006, "Final Notes from a Great Island: A Farewell Tour of Singapore" completed the trilogy. The book went straight to No.1 and decided to stay there for a few months. Having run out of ways to squeeze island into a book title, Humphreys moved to Geelong, Australia. He now writes for several magazines and newspapers in Singapore and Australia and spends his weekends happily looking for echidnas and platypuses. But he still really misses 'roti prata'.
