Goldman presents the book as the “good parts” of a much longer work by the fictional S. Morgenstern. That joke is part of the novel, so the story feels like both a fairy tale and a funny talk with the storyteller.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA love story that refuses to stay simple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eButtercup lives on a farm, where Westley works as a farm boy.

Buttercup is set to marry Prince Humperdinck, a man she does not love. Before the wedding, she is kidnapped by Vizzini, Fezzik, and Inigo Montoya. From there, the story becomes a chase full of cliffs, sword fights, tricks, revenge, escapes, and surprising help. Westley and Buttercup cross paths again, but being together is far from easy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWant a classic that does not feel slow?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMany readers want to try a classic but worry it may feel heavy or hard to finish. The Princess Bride is different.
