Editorial reviews

A nice introduction to the intriguing history of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, as London's iconic Tower is officially known. Performer Abbey Holmes' voice is silky as she describes the many legends surrounding the Tower, such as the story of the murdered princes, and presents fun facts such as the reason the Yeomen Warders are known as beefeaters. Dramatic music filters in and out of the recording, but enhances it rather than detracts. A recommended choice for tourists on their way to visit London, or students doing projects on this historic castle with a dark history.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Prison, Treasury, Armory, Palace

From 1066AD until present day, the Tower of London has played an important role in the history of London. Royal residence, home of the Crown Jewels, a weapons armory, and a famous prison, the Tower of London is now visited by many tourists annually. The story of the six ravens of the Tower of London who dine on blood soaked bird biscuits (among other things) was very interesting to me. Another great iMinds short!
