He's able to comment on his own story, add things that the story alone cannot do, even point out things he finds odd. Rugen follows Humperdinck's secret instructions not to release Westley, but to take him to his underground hunting arena, the "Zoo of Death". And the last book is Cary Elwes’ very enjoyable 2014 memoir As You Wish, about the making of the movie. He explains that he has edited out the “good parts,” which were originally read to him by his father when he was ten years old. The characters here are so rich and vivid that it's hard to imagine that they don't exist somewhere in an alternate fantasy world.
The Princess Bride by William Goldman | Waterstones
She professes her love to him, and he leaves immediately to America to seek his fortune, and soon is reported to have been murdered by the Dread Pirate Roberts. Believing that Westley is dead, since the Dread Pirate Roberts is famous for not taking captives, Buttercup sinks into despair.
On the day of the wedding, Inigo meets again with Fezzik, who tells him that Count Rugen is the six-fingered man who killed his father. The bloodthirsty biographies of the world’s most infamous pirates are reproduced in this Folio edition of Captain Charles Johnson’s renowned work, including original woodcut illustrations and a fascinating introduction by Margarette Lincoln. Westley and Buttercup successfully navigate the Fire Swamp, but they are captured by Prince Humperdinck and his cruel six-fingered assistant, Count Tyrone Rugen. The book's actual roots are in stories Goldman told to his daughters (aged 7 and 4), [7] one of whom had requested a story about "princesses" and the other "brides".

The book is really good, but Billy Crystal was absolutely AMAZING (as was Carol Kane who played Miracle Max's wife). Inigo pursues Rugen through the castle and kills him in a sword fight, reciting throughout the duel his long-rehearsed oath of vengeance.The second paperback edition changed the cover and replaced the internal red text standard black italic.
