An excerpt from The Princess Bride.I started rereading The Princess Bride for the who-knows-how-many-th time (I've only reread The Sorcerer's Stone more times) when I came across this scene again and wanted to narrate it. It may be the only romantic piece I can reread countless times without getting sick of it. I hope I've done justice to the work and that fellow fans will enjoy it as well.As amazing as the movie is, the book fleshes out a lot of things. The farm scenes in the movie only spanned about, what, five minutes? I highly recommend the book. And yes, you should totally read the super long introduction, because it clarifies whatever satirical oddities you might read in the book that would be confusing if you hadn't read the introduction.Also, the Inigo/Fezzik scenes in the book are so much sweeter. They were adorable in the movie, but you know, screen time couldn't allow for the explanation of their friendship.So. Go get the book. And enjoy the heck out of it.- Cast - Narrator and Buttercup — MeWestley — @john-joseph-archer-ii- Music -Royalty-free music:'Heroic Age' Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100848.'European Love' from Jewel Beathttp://www.jewelbeat.com/store/downloadtrackdetails.php?tId=125805'Floating in Love' from Jewel Beathttp://www.jewelbeat.com/store/downloadtrackdetails.php?tId=125806Thumbnail Illustration by Michael Manomivibulhttp://www.mikemanoart.com/post/63386613573/princess-bride-an-illustrated-edition-princess

Back we go to 1986, Sheffield, England, and we are shooting the movie of The Princess Bride. It was such a happy time for me, at last Morgenstern coming to life on film. I had written the screenplay for it first over a decade before-but it had never been 'picked up,' as they say Out There, till then. Free Audio Books! Books Should be Free.
