Show Notes
Christopher Skaife is a Yeoman Warder, otherwise known as a Beefeater. He’s partly responsible for tours of the Tower of London, and years of telling stories about the ravens and the tower’s history have honed his skill as a narrator for this audiobook. Listeners get the bonus of the sounds of the ravens between chapters. As he talks with obvious affection for his charges—the ravens—listeners learn some superstitions about the Tower and the ravens, animal behavior, and history in a totally entertaining audiobook. Published by Macmillan Audio.
