Do you remember watching Princess Bride for the first time? The magic that came as you watched the swashbuckling fantasy adventure romance unfold? Hear Cary Elwes tell his own story of how he came to be a part of the Princess Bride, what his experiences were being on set for the first time, what is was like to learn to sword-fight, and more. Experience Princess Bride for the first time all over again.

Cary Elwes does a fantastic job of narrating his story. The addition of some of the other cast members narrating their parts of the story was unique and fun to listen to as well. The mix of humor with internal dialogue was well depicted and easily drew listeners into the book. The chapter set up made sense and helped to paint a picture for listeners of how the film unfolded in its creation. Fans of Princess Bride or who like Cary Elwes in other productions will enjoy listening to this audiobook.
