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.
