The Princess Bride

The Princess Bride is action-packed but still lighthearted, sweet but not saccharine, silly but still smart—and, of course, endlessly quotable. This beloved classic fairytale based on the 1973 novel written by William Goldman begins with a grandfather reading his favorite book “The Princess Bride” to his hard-to-impress grandson. This book, he promises, has everything – “Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge. Giants. Monsters. Chases. Escapes. True love. Miracles.” – and all that he promised comes to life before the boy’s enchanted eyes as his grandfather reads him the adventures of Buttercup, the most beautiful woman in the world, and Westley, the man she loves.
