William Goldman is an Academy Award–winning author of screenplays, plays, memoirs, and novels. His first novel, The Temple of Gold (1957), was followed by the script for the Broadway army comedy Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole (1961). He went on to write the screenplays for many acclaimed films, including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and All the President’s Men (1976), for which he won two Academy Awards. He adapted his own novels for the hit movies Marathon Man (1976) and The Princess Bride (1987).
“This inventive, offbeat fable has a touch of magic about
it.”—Los Angeles Times
“Where The Princess Bride was lightheartedly
brutal, this story is gently whimsical, well-complemented by
Paul Giovanopoulos’s zany drawings.”—San Francisco
