“The Princess Bride
S. Morgenstern's
Classic Tale of True Love
and High Adventure

You had to admire a guy who called his own new book a classic before it was published and anyone had a chance to read it.”
William Goldman, The Princess Bride

“Leave your life behind for love if your heart desires. But have no high expectations.”
