This classic story will appeal to readers who enjoy romantic adventures, fantasy, and heroic quests filled with action and humour.
In this 30th anniversary edition, Goldman frames the famous fairy tale with an "autobiographical" story: his father abridged the book as he read it to his son. Now, Goldman is publishing an abridged version, interspersed with comments on the parts he cut out.

Description
This is my favourite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
As a child, I was read the "good parts" version of S. Morgenstern's classic tale of true love and high adventure, and that is what I give to you. It is the story of Buttercup, the most beautiful woman in a hundred years, who loves and loses her Westley. It is the story of a kidnapping, a chase, and a daring rescue by a mysterious man in black.
This timeless adventure is a story of fencing and fighting, of torture and poison, of hate and revenge. It is a tale of giants and hunters, of brave men and bad men, of escapes and miracles. And, of course, it is a story of true love. Explore the magical world of The Princess Bride and become enchanted by its enduring charm.
