Description
In his lively, often cheeky debut, Skaife puts a human face on the Beefeaters -- the ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London -- and the distinctive ravens under their care. According to legend, if the ravens depart, "the Tower itself will crumble into dust and great harm will befall the kingdom," writes Skaife. Short, entertaining chapters juxtapose history and myth with ornithological facts and an inside look at one of London's most popular attractions. Skaife introduces readers to the Tower's seven ravens and shares stories illustrating their quirky personalities. --,Adapted from Publishers Weekly.
