Set in the popular tourist attraction in present-day London,
The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise is an exquisite story
of love, loss, and a one-hundred-eighty-one-year-old pet. Balthazar Jones has lived and worked in the Tower of London
for the past eight years. Being a Beefeater is no easy job,
and when Balthazar is tasked with setting up an elaborate
menagerie of the many exotic animals gifted to the Queen,
life at the Tower gets all the more interesting. Penguins
escape, giraffes go missing, and the Komodo dragon sends
innocent tourists running for their lives. Still, that chaos
is nothing compared to what happens when his wife, Hebe,
makes a surprise announcement. What’s a Beefeater to do?
