The book starts with explaining Buttercups parents. Her mother nice and sweet,
but she often got after her husband for small insignificant things. Her father
shuddered at his wife's voice, a hard worker and loving father. They are both
talking when they see a huge procession of horses and guards heading towards
their home. At first the assume it was their neighbors but then the crowd was
past all their neighbors houses and land and going straight towards them. The
mother shrieks at her husband that he forgot to pay the taxes and that they were
going to be locked up for the rest of their lives and it was all his fault. When
the procession arrives out comes the Count and Countess from their carriage. The
Count automatically notices Buttercup's beauty and the Countess notices Wesley,
his muscles and how young and handsome he is. The Count and Countess say they
are interested in how the father raises the cows and feeds them. Because his
cows are the best in the land. When they finally leave, the Count tells the
Prince about the most beautiful woman in the Village and the Prince is
immediately impressed. So one day while Buttercup is out riding her horse, whom
she named "Horse," she was approached by the Prince. He told her how
beautiful she was and that he wanted to court her and then marry her. She was
not impressed, and rode off, she did not know it was the Prince. Yes her and
Wesley did fall in love, it was him always bending to her every whim, we all
know the famous, "As you wish..." There are some very outstanding
differences between the book and the movie though, they kiss and they plan to be
wed. But Wesley wants to earn money for his family and wife so he got on a ship
and sailed away, he said he would send word as soon as possible. Then when he
had enough he would send her a ticket to come be with him. Then he was gone.
Buttercup then recived word that the ship he was on had been over throne by the
Dread Pirate Roberts, who does not take any prisoners. So she knew her beloved
Wesley was no more. She locks herself in her room and cries and cries, she is in
there for 3 days if I remember right. When she comes out her parents are eating
dinner and she tells them how much she misses Wesley and that she will never
love again. She does consent to marring the Prince Humperdink. Who only wants to
marry her so he can kill her to start a war. The book describes how he is a
great hunter, and how the Count is really into torture. Their was place they had
called the zoo, four levels of animals for the Price to hunt. But the fourth and
final level, the bottom one, was empty it was for the hardest and most deadly
animal of them all. The keeper of the Zoo was an Albino male, he never really
talked, but went about his business and never bothered a soul. Well she goes
riding one day which is exactly like the movie she is stopped by three men, very
odd looking men. Who say they are from the circus and they are lost. They kidnap
her and they tear a piece off of a uniform from an officer of Gilder. They get
on a boat and go to the cliff of insanity where the murder will take place. On
the boat she jumps into the water and tries to swim away, when Vincinni
threatens to prick his finger which will drive the man eating eels crazy. Which
will then kill her. They see a ship behind them it is Wesley. It gains on them
and they begin to climb the cliffs. It is exactly like the movie in all the
fight scenes. The book goes along the movie until he gets put into the Zoo. In
the zoo Inigo Montoya and the giant work there way through the zoo till they get
to the forth level where they find Wesley lying there dead. They take his dead
body to a miracle worker who after much persuasion finely agrees to heal Wesley.
He gets healed, they go to he Castle save the Princess and Inigo fights the six
fingered man and they ride off into the night and Wesley and Buttercup kiss, it
was not just any kiss it was the kiss. Then they all live happily ever after.
