Description: "His swashbuckling fable is nutball funny . . . A 'classic' medieval melodrama that sounds like all the Saturday serials you ever saw, feverishly reworked by the Marx Brothers." --Newsweek "One of the funniest, most original, and deeply moving novels I have read in a long time." --Los Angeles Times "Though later in life he was perhaps more guarded concerning the human condition, there can be no doubt that at this stage of his career, especially with The Princess Bride, Morgenstern was the most joyous of all Florinese writers." --HENREID PAVOL Author of Middle Morgenstern "Having taught the first course in Morgenstern given by an American Ivy League University, I am of course most pleased to see this long overdue edition. At first, Goldman's abridgement proved nettlesome to me. But upon rereading, clearly it has virtues of its own." --SHOG BONGIORNO Professor Emeritus, Mid-European Literature Columbia University From the Paperback edition.
