6r, Reprint S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and Hight Adventure. Abridged by William Goldman.
Notes
Â
The Princess Bride is a beloved fantasy-adventure novel by William Goldman, published in 1973, and later adapted into the iconic 1987 film. The story is framed as a âgood partsâ abridgment of an older fictional book, which lets Goldman mix fairy-tale romance with sharp humor and playful satire.
At its heart is the love story between Buttercup, a beautiful farm girl turned princess, and Westley, the poor farm boy who becomes the masked hero the Dread Pirate Roberts. Their romance is tested by kidnappings, sword fights, giants, clever villains, and impossible odds. Along the way, readers meet unforgettable characters like Inigo Montoya, seeking revenge for his fatherâs murder; Fezzik, the gentle giant; and Vizzini, whose confidence far exceeds his intelligence.
What makes The Princess Bride special is its tone: it lovingly pokes fun at fairy-tale clichĂ©s while fully embracing them. Itâs funny, romantic, swashbuckling, and surprisingly sincere all at once. Themes of true love, loyalty, courage, and storytelling itself run throughout, making it a favorite for both adults and younger readers.
