You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.

YOU GUYS THIS IS A REAL THING

His name is Keeper and he lives in the White Tower at the Tower of London. Yes, this is what English people do when they are bored. He is made of things that represent the nine (or so idfk) things that the Tower has been used for. Chains for the prison, armour and arms for the arms manufacture and depot, monies for the Mint, etc.

He’s kind of fantastic and I love him. Also he eats his hoard apparently because he has money and gems in his belly. You should all love him too.

That is so cool!
