The Princess Bride

This isn't just any story about a princess waiting to be rescued.

The beautiful Princess Buttercup. The brave farm boy Westley. The cruel Prince Humperdinck. The vengeful swordsman Inigo. The giant strongman Fezzik. The mysterious man in black. And an adventure that starts like a fairy tale—but quickly turns into a wild ride full of duels, intrigue, kidnappings, cruel schemes, and a love that refuses to die.

The Princess Bride is no ordinary fantasy, nor is it a traditional tale of good versus evil. Every page of this book plays with the idea of a classic fairy tale, commenting on it and turning it inside out.

The book that has charmed millions of readers around the world and inspired the cult film of the same name will draw you into a world where the humour is as sharp as a rapier and where “happily ever after” is certainly not a given.
