Balthazar Jones is a Beefeater. He has lived in the Tower of London with his loving wife, Hebe, and his pet, the oldest living tortoise, for eight years. When he is tasked with setting up a menagerie within the Tower walls to house the exotic animals gifted to the Queen by foreign dignitaries, his quiet life gets interesting.
