Publisher's Summary

This adventure story has everything you could want: a handsome good guy, a pretty heroine, some bad guys, sword fighting, revenge, romance, and of course a happy ending, along with “rodents of unusual size.” Join Westley (the plucky farm boy), Buttercup (the beautiful young maiden), Inigo Montoya (the driven, embittered swordsman), Prince Humperdinck (the scheming villain), and many other strange and unusual characters in this swashbuckling tale of good-natured silliness.

Read by Rob Reiner, who directed the motion picture based on this fairy tale adventure.

Not all the good parts version.

Disappointing. Too much was removed from the original book and I felt that the story was rushed, like they were trying to match up the original to the movie. For a beloved book, it didn't get the audio treatment it deserved. At least Reiner did an excellent job with the narration.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
