The Princess Bride by William Goldman is a delightful blend of adventure, romance, and satire, set in the fictional land of Florin. The story revolves around the beautiful Buttercup and her true love, Westley, a humble farm boy who leaves to seek his fortune but is reported dead at sea. Heartbroken, Buttercup reluctantly agrees to marry Prince Humperdinck, a scheming nobleman with plans of his own.

However, Buttercup’s fate changes when she is kidnapped by an unlikely trio—a clever Sicilian named Vizzini, a giant named Fezzik, and a master swordsman named Inigo Montoya, who seeks revenge on the man who killed his father. Soon, a mysterious figure known as the Man in Black appears, determined to rescue Buttercup and win her heart once more.

Packed with sword fights, daring rescues, humor, and unforgettable characters, The Princess Bride is both a playful satire of fairy tales and a heartfelt story about true love, friendship, and adventure. Goldman's witty narrative style, full of charm and irony, has made this story a timeless favorite, celebrated for its humor, excitement, and enduring romance.
