Biography
Stephen Edward King was born on September 21, 1947, in Portland, Maine. He was the second son of a middle-aged couple, Donald and Nellie King. In 1949, Donald King disappeared and was never seen or heard from again by his family. Stephen and his elder brother, David, were brought up in straitened circumstances by their mother, who was forced to rely upon the charity of relatives. The family spent several years in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Stratford, Connecticut, before settling down, in 1958, in Durham, Maine, where Nellie cared for her aging parents.
