The Princess Bride (book) question -- missing scene

[kenobi_65]

An old thread here, about the book, which includes discussion of that scene:

I'm *finally* reading The Princess Bride!

Ah! You and I read a very different book. The movie is a fun, light fantasy about how true love conquers all. The book is about life, acceptance, and the understanding that while not everything is sunshine and fairy-dust, it’s worth loving for what it is, because otherwise you’re left with nothing.
