->'''Grandson:''' A book?\\
'''Grandpa:''' That's right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you.

''The Princess Bride'' is a multi-media franchise based on Creator/WilliamGoldman's [[Literature/ThePrincessBride novel of the same name]].

The story follows Westley and Buttercup, true loves, who are separated after Westley is apparently killed by a pirate at sea. On the eve of her wedding to Prince Humperdinck, Buttercup is kidnapped by a group of mercenaries. However, they are followed by a mysterious pirate dressed in black and Buttercup finds herself reunited with her lost love.

The book was later adapted and overshadowed by a [[Film/ThePrincessBride film adaptation]], which itself was adapted into a roleplaying game and [[Series/HomeMovieThePrincessBride mini series for the Quibi app]].
