Summary: This hilarious novel set in the Tower of London has the transportive qualities and delightful magic of the contemporary classics "Chocolat" and "Amelie". Balthazar Jones has lived in the Tower of London with his loving wife, Hebe, and his pet, the oldest living tortoise, for the past eight years. That's right, he is a Beefeater. It's no easy job navigating the trials and tribulations that come with living and working in the largest tourist attraction in London. When Balthazar is tasked with setting up an elaborate menagerie within the Tower walls to house the many exotic animals gifted to the Queen by foreign dignitaries, life at the Tower gets all the more interesting. This enchanting novel hits just the right note, combining charm, humour, heart, and sophistication with truly gifted, original storytelling, perfect for book clubs.
