Heartbreak and healing
The humor the author writes with never diminishes the heartbreak the characters feel, and I think I liked this most about the book. I felt like the author's main message was, "Life's tough, but it does go on, and finding humor and love along the way helps."The cast of animals and the stories about the history of the Tower and its prisoners (and ghosts) is interesting and fun without distracting from the lives of the beefeater, his wife, and the many other characters. All of the characters have their heartbreak to deal with - for some it's loneliness, for another it's feeling abandoned, and for others it's suffering the grief of the death of a loved one. Just about any hurt we might have to deal with in life is presented with ways to cope and heal illustrated in the characters' lives, often with humor and honest emotion. The way the characters deal with their problems and help one another to find something new to try when one idea has failed, is not just funny, but...

Whimsical and delightful!
Everybody knows about the Beefeaters in the Tower of London, of course, but it's unlikely you ever knew one personally. In this light- hearted novel you will meet the denizens of the Tower: Beefeater or Yeoman of the Tower Balthazar Jones along with his Greek wife, Hebe, are barely holding on to a marriage gone stale.We are introduced to the Reverend Septimus Drew, the Tower parson, who secretly pens erotic novels under the pen name Vivienne Ventriss. We meet Ruby Dore, the sexy barmaid of the Tower's pub Rack and Ruin, who was born "slithering" on to a kitchen floor because the resident Tower doctor would not leave his Monopoly game at a crucial moment in play to attend the crucial moment upstairs. And there's the black-gloved villain, the Ravenmaster, who looks after his flock of vicious black birds, one of which recently sent a tourist to the hospital when the unfortunate man tried to pet the bird. And there's Arthur Catnip, the Ticket Master and his voluptuous...

I've never read anything like this wonderful, warm and wacky book. Set largely within the Tower of London, the book is packed from start to finish with fun and quirky characters and scenarios.

My childhood version
This is the version of the story with which I grew up. Ms. Stevens not only adds adorable and detailed pictures, but stretches out the story to include some characterization and subtle humor that even the adults will appreciate. The illustrations show so much expression, and the writing is full of personality. Great kids' book.

I asked if they would be willing to buy some from me for $300 (so they still make a profit) and I got some fairly unfriendly looks from the guy in the shop that actually has the breeding parents of the hatchlings they sell. I asked if they would be willing to buy some from me for $300 (so they still make a profit) and I got some fairly unfriendly looks from the guy in the shop that actually has the breeding parents of the hatchlings they sell. Then I suggested they go online and get hatchlings from a dedicated and reliable breeder for about $100 each so they can set more reasonable prices and I was told to leave the store.

I did let him know I would only buy the ceramic ones if I did Do you know anything about the clamp lamps they sell at home improvement stores for temporary lighting. Second thing is, that type of clamp lamp, with the plastic fixture, is not dependable and reliable, or safe, for use all day every day with reptile heating and lighting products.

I think the Russian is the best choice for me. Im able to take the tortoise outside but he will live inside and in a 50G rubbermaid tub and when he's older I will build a tortoise table.
