Until now, there have been few collections of Singapore's legends written and illustrated with children in mind. Author Diana Taylor pulls together eleven beloved myths and tales often shared from mother to child, stories of how Singapore got its name or the time a tiger was found under a billiard table at the Raffles Hotel. These stories introduce children to Singapore's multicultural past and its colonial roots.
