What happens when the world's most attractive girl marries the most attractive prince ever, only to find him to be, well, a lot less than the guy she had imagined?

William Goldman says he grew up loving to hear his father read The Princess Bride, a famous work by S. Morgenstern. But as an adult, he found that only the "good parts" were told to him, leaving out the tedious portions of good ol' Dad's recital.

Goldman now performs Dad one better. He has recreated the "Good Parts Version" to the joy of perceptive adults and intelligent children worldwide.

What is the topic? Guarding. Warring. Real Love. intense hate. Crude Retaliation. Several Giants. Many Bad Men. Many Delightful Men. Five or six stunning ladies. Beasties: Gentle and Monstrous. A Few Magnificent Escapes and Captures. Death, deception, reality, healing, and a hint of sex.

It is, in essence, about everything.
