ThePrincessBride/Story
This is a short synopsis of the events of The Princess Bride. When there are two versions of events, I have used the movie version, primarily because the movie has less detail than the book. This synopsis lacks all depth and emotion. For that stuff go to the source material.

If you haven't ever seen the movie or read the book and the above made sense to you, thou art a better person than I. Seriously though, the book and movie are amazing.
