Thor is a 15-year-old raven who lives in the Tower of London with his family of 9 birds. He likes living in the Tower where he is fed daily by the Beefeaters, who are the guards of the Tower. According to a local legend, the ravens must remain in the Tower or else the Tower and Britain will fall, though Thor does not believe this legend. Thor writes a postcard to his friends describing his life in the Tower of London with his family and the Beefeaters who guard the tower.
