Book details

Book description

From hundreds of characters to Mid-World geography to the High Speech lexicon, no self-respecting Dark Tower fan will want to be without this comprehensive handbook to the series. As Stephen King himself explains in the introduction, he commissioned the concordance for his own private use while writing the final three books. When he found Robin Furth's work to be 'entertaining and invaluable' he immediately recommended the manuscript for publication. Robin Furth was born and raised in Philadelphia, and attended the University of Pennsylvania. While enrolled in the Ph. D. program at the University of Maine, she was introduced to Stephen King, who needed a research assistant. She worked with King for more than five years. She divides her time between Maine, the south of England, and Mid-World.
