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.

It warms the cockles of my heart to know that making The Princess Bride was as much fun as it was to watch. Reading these anecdotes made me wish I'd been a part of it. If you're a fan of the film (and if you're not, then you'll probably die alone and unloved - I have statistics to back that claim up) you'll love this behind-the-scenes story.

Please note: I'm not a medical man, so I can't say for sure that hearts have cockles, or that I would even recognise a cockle in a line-up.

Also note: I made up the part about dying alone and unloved; you're probably a very nice person.
