Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure -- William Goldman, Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Goldman's modern fantasy classic is a simple, exceptional story about quests--for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love--that's thrilling and timeless.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone who lived through the 1980s may find it impossible--inconceivable, even--to equate \u003ci\u003eThe Princess Bride\u003c\/i\u003e with anything other than the sweet, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you'll find in these pages. Rich in character and satire, the novel is set in 1941 and framed cleverly as an \"abridged\" retelling of a centuries-old tale set in the fabled country of Florin that's home to \"Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Goldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156035156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Adult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e60420 \/ Princess Bride\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Goldman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45011155026148,"sku":"9780156035156","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9780156035156.jpg?v=1777866008"},{"product_id":"adventures-in-the-screen-trade-a-personal-view-of-hollywood-and-screenwriting-william-goldman-paperback","title":"Adventures in the Screen Trade: A Personal View of Hollywood and Screenwriting -- William Goldman, Paperback","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNow available as an ebook for the first time  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo one knows the writer's Hollywood more intimately than William Goldman.
