Ahoy there mateys! I lived in the port of London for a bit and loved every moment of it. Of course one of the places we visited was the Tower of London. Which has ravens. As I hail from port of Baltimore, I have always been fond of ravens and Poe’s raven in particular. Plus there have been fascinating articles about ravens in the media. Me memories of the Tower that day are shoddy but when I saw this book about the history of the ravens at the Tower, I decided to give it a go. It never occurred to me that the staff lived at the Tower. The Ravenmaster, Yeoman Warder Christopher Skaife, who wrote this book certainly is passionate about the subject. It was a quick and entertaining read. Ye get a little bit of history, ghost story, naturalist tale, and memoir. I very much enjoyed it. Thanks to ballyroanreads @ southdublinreads for the recommendation. Arrr!
