The Princess Bride: BBC Radio Fantasy Drama by William Goldman

“This is my favourite book in all the world, though I have never read it.”

When William Goldman discovers The Princess Bride by S Morgenstern is not the swashbuckling fantasy his father read him as a child, but is in fact a patchy and extensive historical satire, he sets out to create the “Good Parts” version…

A tale of true love and high adventure featuring a fighting giant that loves to rhyme, a swordsman on the ultimate quest for revenge, a pirate in love with a princess, a princess in love with a farm boy and a prince in love with war.

A two-part, full-cast dramatisation of swashbuckling adventure plus five short stories.
