like two million egg salad sandwiches. And the sound was KA-
HIONK!!!
Up she went again
'Goodbye, Witch Hazel ' yelled Mommy waving. 'Enjoy the
moon.'
'Hope you stay a long time'' called Joe.
Up and up went Witch Hazel until she was out of sight. During the
news that night the Kings and the Prince of New Hampshire heard
Barbara Walters report that a UFW had been seen by a 74 7
airplane over Bridgton. Maine - an unidentified flying witch.
And that was the end of wicked Witch Hazel. She is on the moon
now, and probably still farting.
And the Kings are the happiest family in Bridgton again. They
often exchange visits with the Prince of New Hampshire, who is
now now King. Daddy writes books and never uses the word
banana. Mommy uses her hands more than ever. And Joe and
Naomi King hardly ever cry.
As for Witch Hazel, she was never seen again, and considering
those terrible farts she was letting when she left, that is probably a
good thing!

Through flashbacks, the reader learns that Roland was a member
of a noble family in the Dark Tower world, and that that world

Along the way, Roland encounters strange inhabitants of this
unnamed world, including Jake, a young boy who, even though he
is killed by the end of the first book, will figure prominently in
