| Synopsis: |
The Tower of London has fascinated people for centuries, but how much do we know about what happens there today and the people whose homes are inside the Tower? Author Christopher West was allowed unprecedented access and by tracing its comings and goings over a year, this illustrated book gives a unique insight into the modern Tower: the ceremonies, the celebrations, the experience of living in a historic landmark, and all the people - visitors and staff - who make it work. Here you will also find a detailed account of Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, the installation of 888,246 ceramic poppies in the Tower's moat to mark the centenary of the First World War. The Tower of London is a hugely important building, and this book celebrates its history, its continued existence and the work that is being done to preserve it for future generations. |
