Last July, when my daughter Laurie sent a link about The Princess Bride: An Inconceivable Evening with Cary Elwes coming to The Patchogue Theater, my immediate reaction was –

This is ‘The Princess Bride’ paperback I used during my 8th grade writing class’s screenplay unit, early 2000s, at Grand Avenue Middle School, Bellmore, New York.
