Description
A charming, witty, and interesting narrative from the keeper of London's Tower, whose duties include caring for the ravens, which are said to be linked to the legend that as long as they are in the Tower, the British monarchy will not fall. The author offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the Tower and brings its history and daily operations closer to the reader. He recounts amusing stories he experiences with tourists, answers the most common questions he is asked, and provides profiles of the individual ravens (there are currently seven, each with a name, and the book includes a brief biography and characterization of each). The narrative is a well-mixed blend of historical details that are usually not found in other tourist or historical publications, along with humorous observations from the everyday workings of this royal institution.
