The Princess Bride (nonsense)

William Goldman edits Simon Morgenstern's rollicking adventure of pirates and princesses, swordplay and swamps down to "the good parts," and I put all the missing pieces back in, carefully reconstructing the original narrative, in all its gruesome, graphic, weird, and perverse detail. Altho there's no vulgar language, this commentary is rated M for mature. Among other things from the original Morgenstern version of the story, I explain: * How Buttercup comes from a family of hookers * What happened to Westley—and the letters he wrote to Buttercup—while he was on the Revenge * Where Inigo's father hid the sword so Inigo could still have it * The many layers of family man, scientist, and charity patron Vizzini * What Westley's body originally said he had reason to live for * Who lost what limbs in the course of the story * How Inigo could take several wounds and yet get stronger * The truth about Inigo's father's fate
