The Little Singapore Book (New Edition)
A modern Singapore children' s classic, The Little Singapore Book is a fun-filled romp through Singapore' s 700 years of history, packed in four beautifully, richly illustrated chapters. It offers young readers a simplified history of Singapore from the 14th century to the present day, then brings them on a whirlwind tour of the historical districts of Singapore. Flitting from past to present, it reveals the fascinating origins of neighbourhoods such as Chinatown and Little India, and how they have changed. For instance, did you know that Serangoon was once cattle farmland? Or that there was a real fort that once stood at Fort Road? This is followed by the final chapter about life in Singapore, and what Singaporeans are all about, from the rich colourful language called ' Singlish' to the people' s collective love for food. Sprinkled within are also activities for kids, from walking routes to games and quizzes, and sidebars of fun facts to pique children' s interest. First published in 2015, this new edition comes with updated illustrations and information. It is a firm favourite among children, and a choice pick among teachers and parents.

The best short fiction published by Singaporean writers in 2017 and 2018. The Epigram Books Collection of Best New Singaporean Short Stories: Volume Four gathers the finest Singaporean stories published in 2017 and 2018, selected by guest editor Pooja Nansi from hundreds published in journals, magazines, anthologies and single-author collections. Accompanying the stories are the editor’s preface and an extensive list of honourable mentions for further reading. Reader Reviews "The stories range from intimate family portraits to speculative science fiction, but every piece speaks to universal experiences of love, loss, desire, and disappointment ... If you've either never read Singaporean literature, this would be a good place to start. If Crazy Rich Asians was the last thing you read by a local author, even better." — Wonderwall.sg
