For nearly a thousand years, a great stone fortress has stood beside the River Thames-watching kings rise, queens fall, and history unfold behind its walls. Once a royal palace, later a prison, and even home to lions and ravens, this ancient stronghold has seen more drama, mystery, and change than almost any other place on Earth.
This book invites young readers to step inside those walls and uncover the true stories that shaped one of the world's most legendary landmarks. They'll meet royal families who lived there in splendor, prisoners who carved their names into stone, and brave guards who still keep its secrets today. They'll learn how the Tower became a home for priceless treasures, how it protected a kingdom through wars and rebellions, and why black-feathered ravens are still cared for within its gates.
Filled with real history, surprising facts, and stories that blend courage, power, and mystery, this is an unforgettable journey through time. From the first stone laid by William the Conqueror to the soldiers, tourists, and keepers who walk its grounds today, readers will discover how one fortress became a symbol of strength, survival, and the endless stories hidden in the walls of history.
