Description
|
|
|
|
A delightful fiction-within-a-fiction more for adults than children, originally published in 1973, The Princess Bride has since been made into a beloved family film, was very nearly a musical, and tends to be somewhat reinvented every so often by the Oscar-winning screenwriter and Edgar-winning novelist William Goldman. In this original telling, Goldman leaves out the boring parts that his father also left out when he read it to his son decades ago; what remains is fencing, fighting, torture, true love, revenge, giants, beautiful ladies, snakes, spiders, beasts of all natures and descriptions, pain, death, brave men, cowards, chases, escapes, lies, truths, miracles, and some kissing (but not too much).
