Audio Book Summary

From actor Cary Elwes, who played the iconic role of Westley in The Princess Bride, comes the New York Times bestselling account of the making of the cult classic film filled with never-before-told stories, exclusive photographs, and interviews with costars Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, and Mandy Patinkin, as well as author and screenwriter William Goldman, producer Norman Lear, and director Rob Reiner.

The Princess Bride has been a family favorite for close to three decades. Ranked by the American Film Institute as one of the top 100 Greatest Love Stories and by the Writers Guild of America as one of the top 100 screenplays of all time, The Princess Bride will continue to resonate with audiences for years to come.

Cary Elwes was inspired to share his memories and give fans an unprecedented look into the creation of the film while participating in the twenty-fifth anniversary cast reunion. In As You Wish he has created an enchanting experience; in addition to never-before seen photos and interviews with his fellow cast mates, there are plenty of set secrets and backstage stories.

With a foreword by Rob Reiner and a limited edition original poster by acclaimed artist Shepard Fairey, As You Wish is a must-have for all fans of this beloved film.

    You'll have fun storming the castle with this one. Hands down (5 fingers not 6) the best audio book production I've listened to. Great behind the scene story's told by the actors, what a wonderful walk down memory lane of an all time classic story.

    I was obsessed with The Princess Bride as a kid so listening to "Wesley" and many other beloved characters share stories about their experiences making the film was a real treat. I'm not so sure I would have enjoyed it as much had I read it myself.

    I absolutely loved this story! I loved the Princess Bride movie and this story gave me so much insight into the making and experience of all those involved. It gave me a greater appreciation for the film. I immediately watched the movie again after finishing the book. Having the accounts narrated by the various actors and directors made this audiobook so entertaining and engaging.
