User Avatar

Asked by Mcostello1011

The answer to this question would vary greatly due to a number of factors, viz., type of font, size of font, size of pages and other formatting variations. A paperback, 30th Anniversary Edition, published July 15th 2003 by Ballantine Books (Ballantine Reader's Circle) has 398 pages. Another, published by Harcourt Children's Books on 26 March 2010, in paperback has 456 pages. Another, published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC on 01 November 1999, has 416 pages, and another also by the same company published on 04 August 2008, has 336 pages. So, as asked, this question has many correct answers and would need to include some qualifications such as "How many pages are in book 'The Princess Bride' published by Ballantine Books on July 15th 2003?

He came back. And she wasn't there. And he knew that she meant it when she promised she would wait for him. So he kinda figured that she had to be taken. Because that's the only way she would leave.

How are princess bride and cyrano de bergerac alike?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the books?

Both Tristran and Westley work on farms.

They both long for the woman they love with no results for a long time (Buttercup takes an age to notice that Westley loves her and Victoria uses Tristran's love to manipulate him).

They both travel for their loves (Westley goes to America to seek his fortune so that he can afford a house for himself and Buttercup. Tristran goes across the Wall to seek a fallen star for Victoria so that she will not marry another).

Both heroes become changed when they come back to their home land, (Westley is a strong and intelligent pirate and Tristran is an equally strong and physical man).

Both are books which cover rites of passage, such as growing up (Buttercup grows up a great deal when Westley dies and Tristran grows up because he has to face so much danger on his journey)

The main genres are romance, adventure and fantasy

Both books contain magic/miracles

Both Tristran, Yvaine and Buttercup are all royalty or have been during the story, (Tristran and Yvaine marry and become King and Queen and Buttercup almost marries Prince Humperdink)

This is all I can think of for the time being..

Who was the director of the movie The Princess Bride?

"The Princess Bride" was supposedly written by S. Morgenstern and abridged by William Goldman, in what he called the "good-parts version". However, Goldman was actually the sole creator of the novel--he simply pretended that it was by a mythical man from a mythical land (Morganstern of Florin) and that he was merely abridging it. This has confused many people, who spend time looking for the "unabridged" version, when it simply doesn't exist.
