Bloomsbury Trade The Princess Bride

The classic swashbuckling adventure story featuring pirates, giants and terrifying beasts, which was adapted into the beloved cult film. 'Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father; prepare to die!' Beautiful, flaxen-haired Buttercup has fallen for Westley, the farm boy, and when he departs to make his fortune, she vows never to love another. When she hears that his ship has been captured by the Dread Pirate Roberts (no survivors), her heart is broken. But her charms draw the attention of the relentless Prince Humperdinck who wants a wife and will go to any lengths to have Buttercup. So starts a fairy tale like no other, of fencing, poison, true love, hate, revenge, giants, bad men, good men, snakes, spiders, chases, escapes, lies, truths, passion and miracles, and ... a damn fine story. ...
