- About the Author
-
The tiny island of Pulau Ubin, located off the northeast coast of mainland Singapore, is one of the last rural areas in Singapore still surviving. This charming collection of pen-and-ink sketches by Francis Theo takes you on an intimate tour of its varied wonders. Nature, simplicity, slowness – qualities increasingly rare in urbanised modern Singapore – are captured here in loving detail.
With more than 50 original illustrations drawn on location, this book is a remarkable record of a truly unique place and way of life.
