For the Birds


The Ravenmaster:  My Life with the Ravens at the Tower of London
By Christopher Skaife
Publication Date – October 2, 2018
🌟🌟🌟🌟


This short book written by the current Ravenmaster of the Tower of London is a pure simple, relaxing, informative delight.  After over two decades in the British Army, he applied for a position as a Yeoman Warder the Tower, not knowing that it would lead to his current position.  Currently in charge of the welfare of seven ravens, Mr. Skaife has an authentic affection and interest for the birds who have complex personalities and behaviors.  Written simply, I couldn’t help but become just as enamored of the Tower ravens as the author.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
