So she accepts her husband’s friend’s proposal. She’s at a crossroads because Covenant Man is due soon to collect the taxes, and if Nell can’t pay she and Tim will be tossed out to live in the wild. After a time, Big Ross’s close friend and fellow woodsman, Big Bern Kells, comes calling for Nell’s hand in marriage. When Tim was eleven, his father, a woodsman, was allegedly killed by a dragon along the Ironwood Trail. Roland begins: “Once upon a bye,” a boy named Tim, his mother Nell, and his father Big Ross lived on the edge of the Endless Forest. So, we have King telling the story of Roland, telling a story to his ka-tet of his younger self, of him telling a story to the boy Bill. Meanwhile, Roland stays with Bill in the cell-where he is being kept for his protection-and begins spinning another tale to comfort the boy, as well as pass the time for himself.

The Wind Through The Keyhole was written to chronologically follow Wizard and Glass even though it was released in 2012, long after the 7th novel, The Dark Tower (2004).
