[Publib] RE: another book search

[Mark Arend]

Thanks for the help with this.  The first item I was looking for is not Stephen King's 'The Langoliers' as many suggested.  Similar plot but a different book.  The second item was correctly identified as 'Over the River and Through the Woods' by Clifford Simak.  

One out of two ain't bad.
