The Princess Bride by William Goldman

Book Club: The Princess Bride by William Goldman

Hello readers!

This month we’re reading The Princess Bride by William Goldman — a clever, funny, and surprisingly sharp fairy tale adventure featuring pirates, sword masters, scheming princes, and one very determined farm boy.

We’ll talk about:
• The book’s playful “abridged” framing device
• Fairy tale tropes and how Goldman subverts them
• Humor vs. sincerity
• Differences between the novel and the film

📖 Please read the full novel before attending.

✨ All are welcome — whether this is your first read or your fiftieth.

Inconceivable that you’d miss it!
