Dedicated to all three of King’s children. The dedication reads: "This book is gratefully dedicated to my children.
My mother and my wife taught me how to be a man. My children taught me how to be free. NAOMI RACHEL KING, at fourteen; JOSEPH HILLSTROM KING, at twelve; OWEN PHILIP KING, at seven. Kids, fiction is the truth inside the lie, and the truth of this fiction is simple enough: the magic exists. S.K."
Number one fiction book sales in 1986
