Product details
Mythologised by the author as the ’Good Parts’ version of a magnificent book by the ’great Florinese writer’, S. Morgenstern, The Princess Bride is a gripping tongue-in-cheek fairy tale. It tells the story of Buttercup, an exceptionally beautiful girl who rises from unlikely beginnings to receive the dubious hand-in- marriage of the barrel-like Prince Humperdinck. Meanwhile her true love, Westley the farm boy, must cross perilous seas, climb the Cliffs of Insanity, fight off man-eating swamp rats and survive the abominable Zoo of Death to rescue her from a grisly end. Fast-paced and funny, The Princess Bride lampoons the fairy-tale tradition but is at once a classic in its own right.

I seemed to be kept looking at The Princess Bride all the time, but I have decided to buy it. I hope it will be a great book!

My favorite part is how effortless this book opens and closes due to fabric that's infused into the cover. Quality throughout the book (illustrations within and on the cover).

The Folio edition of The Princess Bride is a delight to own, with its pristine binding and high-quality paper adding to the charm of this classic. As one of my favorite books, this edition holds a special place in my collection. However, I wish it featured more illustrations to enhance the nostalgic experience that classic books evoke. Considering the price, I expected a richer visual element. That said, I'm still happy with this purchase and appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this edition.

My wife loves this edition. It replaced the old paperback from when she was a kid. This version will last for the rest of our lives.

A beautiful edition of a beautiful book. I've always wanted a copy of The Princess Bride but I knew it had to be special in some way. Not just a mass-market paperback. Folio didn't disappoint.

Literally the finest impulse add-on at a checkout that I have ever had the pleasure to purchase, and I gave it away as a gift! Genuinely not sure who will end up having received more joy from it, me or my lil'sis or her new baby, and I'm not even going to see/read it since we live in different countries. Older Brother Awesomess: OFF the SCALES, says one little sis...
