S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure
by William Goldman
This is my favorite 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.
"One of the funniest, most original, and deeply moving novels I have read in a long time." —Los Angeles Times
