Complete Notes from Singapore: The Penguin Omnibus Paperback – October 28, 2025

Almost 200 years ago, an Englishman by the name of Stamford Raffles landed on the shores of Singapore—and the rest, as they say, is history. In 1996, another Englishman arrived and left behind a very 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 Penguin Omnibus brings together all three bestselling titles, offering an insightful and entertaining account of Humphrey's unique, four-decade-long relationship with Singapore and its people, featuring a foreword by Colin Goh.
