Here William Goldman’s beloved story of Buttercup, Westley, and their fellow adventurers finally receives a beautiful illustrated treatment. 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 henchman, rescued by a pirate, forced to marry Prince Humperdinck, and rescued 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.

" Truly a classic tale of true love and high adventure. One of the fanciest books I own too. I read every single page, even the double introduction (the one from the 25th anniversary edition was included). Seeing Goldman’ color commentary scattered throughout the story was a welcome addition. It added comedy to the true love and adventure. And the 30th edition including some amazing illustrations.
True love, high adventure, pirates, princesses, giants, miracles, fencing, pain, death, brave men, coward men, strong men, chases, escapes, lied, truths, passions. That’s The Princess Bride. It might sound long but don’t worry because Goldman only included the good parts 😜 "
"After loving the movie from many viewings, I decided to give the novel a try. However, learning that the author’s personal quips and anecdotes throughout the story were fake was actually heartbreaking. Despite this, the story was fantastic, and only heightened by the fake personal quips strewn throughout."
"Loved it better than the movie"
