And the smallest girl, clinging to her mother’s legs … A fine-boned, silver-haired child, little more than a babe, her blue eyes harking back to a lineage he did not know. The boy next to him, silver-haired and green-eyed, might as well have been Rowan’s twin. The boy beside her, nearly her height, smiled at him, warm and bright, his Ashryver eyes near-glowing beneath his cap of silver hair.

![]() ![]() Inspired by the true story of a political murder that horrified Russians in 1869, Dostoevsky conceived of 'Demons as a 'novel-pamphlet' in which he would say everything about the plague of materialist ideology that he saw infecting his native land. The award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky continue their acclaimed series of Dostoevsky translations with this novel, also known as 'The Possessed. What emerged was a prophetic and ferociously funny masterpiece of ideology and murder in pre-revolutionary Russia-a novel that is rivaled only by 'The Brothers Karamazov' as Dostoevsky' s greatest. ![]() (Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) The award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky continue their acclaimed series of Dostoevsky translations with this novel, also known as 'The Possessed.'

How they were ever able to get a printable “take” I truly do not know. When I read the book The Princess Bride to my kids I had to stop often due to fits of giggles. After all, how could William Goldman have gone wrong, with such characters as Westley (aka the Farm Boy), Buttercup, Inigo Montoya, Vizzini, Fezzik, Miracle Max and his wife Valerie as well as Prince Humperdinck, Count Tyrone Rugen and many others. My initial thought was “How could I have missed this movie?” And from then on, I was entranced. I remember watching this movie for the first time on VHS. What other book would be appropriate to review on the day after Christmas but one that covers the making of the movie “The Princess Bride”? A film that is beloved by millions, including myself and my family.
