What happens when the most beautiful girl in the world marries the
handsomest prince of all time and he turns out to be...well...a lot
less than the man of her dreams?
As a boy, William Goldman claims, he loved to hear his father read
the "S. Morgenstern classic, The Princess Bride. But as a grown-up
he discovered that the boring parts were left out of good old Dad's
recitation, and only the "good parts" reached his ears.
Now Goldman does Dad one better. He's reconstructed the "Good Parts
Version" to delight wise kids and wide-eyed grownups everywhere.
What's it about? Fencing. Fighting. True Love. Strong Hate. Harsh
Revenge. A Few Giants. Lots of Bad Men. Lots of Good Men. Five or
Six Beautiful Women. Beasties Monstrous and Gentle. Some Swell
Escapes and Captures. Death, Lies, Truth, Miracles, and a Little
Sex.
In short, it's about everything.
Eventually to be adapted for the silver screen, THE PRINCESS BRIDE
was originally a beautifully simple, insightfully comic story of
what happens when the most beautiful girl in the world marries the
handsomest prince in the world--and he turnsout to be a son of a
bitch. Guaranteed to entertain both young and old alike by
combining scenes of rowsing fantasy with hilarious reality, THE
PRINCESS BRIDE secures Goldman's place as a master storyteller.
