The Princess Bride, by William Goldman

Pirates and Princesses

How can you get a better story about true love than this? A farm boy, Wesley, leaves his beloved Buttercup to make his way into the world. It has been 5 years and Buttercup has heard he was killed by pirates. She agrees to marry Prince Humperdinck and is kidnapped shortly after thereafter. She is rescued by a pirate and what Buttercup and the pirate go thru to survive being attacked and hunted by the Prince’s men is hilarious.

They meet some unlikely characters who help them along the way. A giant who hates violence, and a swordsman who has a story of his own about revenging the death of his father.
