William Goldman's thrilling and timeless fantasy classic of Buttercup, Westley, and their fellow adventurers comes to life in this beautifully illustrated Deluxe Edition. With a gorgeous foil stamped cover, designed endpapers featuring a map of Florin and Guilder, and deckle-edge paper, it's the perfect gift book for fans of the beloved book or the cult classic film.
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 witty and beloved 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 on a quest 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.
What happens when a farm boy must become a pirate to rescue his one true love?
- Fantasy Adventure Romance: More than just a fairy tale, it's a swashbuckling story about a farm boy named Westley and the beautiful Buttercup, the love they'll risk everything to protect.
- Quest for Revenge: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. Follow the unforgettable Spanish fencer on his lifelong mission to avenge his father against the six-fingered man.
- Unforgettable Characters: From the brilliant but conceited Vizzini to Fezzik, the gentle giant with a love for rhymes, meet a cast of adventurers you'll never forget.
- Witty & Satirical Fantasy: A smart, funny, and endlessly quotable story that plays with classic fairy tale conventions in the most brilliant ways.
- Illustrated Deluxe Edition: A beautiful gift edition for fans, featuring a foil-stamped cover, a map of Florin and Guilder, and deckle-edge paper that brings the magic to life.
