The Princess Bride
Overview & Summary
Framed as an "abridgment" of a fictional classic novel, this story follows the farm girl Buttercup and her true love Westley through kidnapping, pirates, a giant, a master swordsman seeking revenge, and a scheming prince, all narrated with a wry, self-aware humor that pokes fun at fairy-tale conventions even while fully indulging in them. William Goldman's novel is a beloved blend of adventure, romance, and comedy, made into an equally beloved film.
