Ravenmaster of the Tower of London – Christopher Skaife

If the ravens leave the Tower, the kingdom of Britain will fall…

We are thrilled to welcome Christopher Skaife to Hunting Raven Books to talk about his life as Ravenmaster at the Tower of London.

Chris’s official title is ‘Yeoman Warder of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London’, and caring for the Tower’s seven ravens is a central part of the distinguished position he holds.

In his critically acclaimed memoir Ravenmaster, Chris gives a wonderful personal account of his life in service to Her Majesty the Queen and of his relationship with the portentous birds for which he cares. As he so beautifully states: “I look after the ravens – and the ravens look after us.”

Tickets for this event are £3, which can be redeemed against purchase of the book on the night. Chris will be happy to sign books.
