Reads like what I imagine a pub would be like, with a cheery bloke holding court and spinning yarns. Skaife is a raconteur, stretching out ornithology, history, memoir, and above all stories into quite a fun, forgiveably long-winded blend. You don't need to know or even care about the Tower of London to enjoy this: the ravens are the stars of this show, and Skaife cares very deeply for each one of them. This was informative and sweet.
