rainbowbookworm 's review for:
The Ravenmaster: My Life with the Ravens at the Tower of London
by Christopher Skaife
I have been to the Tower of London. I have taken a tour with a beefeater. I have seen the ravens. I never gave a thought to who the ravenmaster was or what his job description would look like.
Thankfully, a conversation in a pub led to Skaife having a publishing deal and now I know more about what it takes to become ravenmaster, some of the perils of the job, and--best of all--a bit about the current ravens' personalities. The book gives a sense of being on an extended private tour of specific areas within the Tower of London. I read the physical book while listening to the author read the audiobook, so that may have contributed to that flight of fancy.
