Books Descriptions
What happens when the most beautiful girl in the world marries
the handsomest prince of all time and he turns out to
be...well...a lot less than the man of her dreams?As a boy,
William Goldman claims, he loved to hear his father read the S.
Morgenstern classic, The Princess Bride. But as a grown-up he
discovered that the boring parts were left out of good old
Dad's recitation, and only the "good parts" reached his
ears.Now Goldman does Dad one better. He's reconstructed the
"Good Parts Version" to delight wise kids and wide-eyed
grownups everywhere.What's it about? Fencing. Fighting. True
Love. Strong Hate. Harsh Revenge. A Few Giants. Lots of Bad
Men. Lots of Good Men. Five or Six Beautiful Women. Beasties
Monstrous and Gentle. Some Swell Escapes and Captures. Death,
Lies, Truth, Miracles, and a Little Sex.In short, it's about
everything.
