About this listen

 From actor Cary Elwes, who played the iconic role of Westley in The Princess Bride, comes the New York Times bestselling account of the making of the cult classic film filled with never-before-told stories, exclusive photographs, and interviews with costars Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, and Mandy Patinkin, as well as author and screenwriter William Goldman, producer Norman Lear, and director Rob Reiner.

The Princess Bride has been a family favorite for close to three decades. Ranked by the American Film Institute as one of the top 100 Greatest Love Stories and by the Writers Guild of America as one of the top 100 screenplays of all time, The Princess Bride will continue to resonate with audiences for years to come.

Cary Elwes was inspired to share his memories and give fans an unprecedented look into the creation of the film while participating in the twenty-fifth anniversary cast reunion. In As You Wish he has created an enchanting experience; in addition to never-before seen photos and interviews with his fellow cast mates, there are plenty of set secrets and backstage stories.

With a foreword by Rob Reiner and a limited edition original poster by acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey, As You Wish is a must-have for all fans of this beloved film.

The Princess Bride has long been a favourite of mine. It is an almost perfect movie (my only two complaints as a 7 year old girl watching it for the first time were why didn’t Buttercup hit the damn ROUS on the head when she had the chance, and why did she roll her eyes at Westley’s wry comments about the Fire Swamp. I never felt like she appreciated him as well as she should have.) And this was a delightful, moving trip down memory lane.

So lovely! Really heartwarming!

This was the first ever audiobook I've been able to complete. Normally I have trouble staying attentive to the narration but Cary Elwes is a superb narrator and his novel is tongue-in-cheek funny. I really enjoyed how well he told the story of the making of the Princess Bride movie from his perspective at the time, and in later chapters from his current position. Cary shared some touching stories and memorable moments that have become engraved in my mind now whenever I think if the Princess Bride. #Audible1

I’ve loved this movie since my first of many viewings. This book is a great accompaniment, to hear the bts stories of filming and in all the years since. It’s wonderful to hear from all involved how much they loved making the movie which has undoubtedly made it the enduring classic it has become.

Wonderful

The princess bride is my favourite movie, and I very much enjoyed hearing all the details and secrets from Cary Elwes himself, hearing from some of the other people who worked on the film is a wonderful touch as well. Every time I drag my friends into watching the movie with me, I always excitedly point out little things I learned from listening to Cary's book. Even the biggest princess bride fan will learn something new from this book. #audible1

Very enjoyable for Princess Bride fans
