Publisher Description
William Goldman’s beloved story of Buttercup, Westley, and their fellow adventurers.
A tale of true love and high adventure, pirates, princesses, giants, miracles, fencing, and a frightening assortment of wild beasts—The Princess Bride is a modern storytelling classic.
As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, the reluctant Princess Buttercup is devastated by the loss of her true love, kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchmen, rescued by a pirate, forced to marry Prince Humperdinck, and recused once again by the very crew who absconded with her in the first place. In the course of this dazzling adventure, she'll meet Vizzini—the criminal philosopher who'll do anything for a bag of gold; Fezzik—the gentle giant; Inigo—the Spaniard whose steel thirsts for revenge; and Count Rugen—the evil mastermind behind it all. Foiling all their plans and jumping into their stories is Westley, Princess Buttercup's one true love and a very good friend of a very dangerous pirate.
The Princess Bride was unforgettably depicted in the 1987 now cult classic film directed by Rob Reiner and starring Fred Savage, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn, Cary Elwes, and others.
Customer Reviews
Movie
This might be the most accurate book to movie, movie of all time so good!
A must read for fans
I saw the movie first. Then I listened to Cary Elwes read his book about the making of the movie. With bits from many who tributed to it. This version has not only “the good bits” but Goldman’s notes on why he left some parts out and what he went through making the book. It is clearly the heart of the beast that Princess Bride to so many of us. Higly fantastic.
