Here is some of the information about William Goldman and The Princess Bride (//from the handout given in class//).
 * Group Members:**

The book (//The Princess Bride//) is entirely Goldman's original work, and Morgenstern and his "original version" never existed. Neither does Goldman's family as described in the book. He has two daughters, not a son, and his wife is not a psychologist. The countries [|Florin] and [|Guilder] do not exist and never have. ...and...


 * Goldman**'s personal life as described in the introduction and commentary in the novel is also fictional. In //The Princess Bride//, Goldman claims to have one son with his wife, a psychiatrist. In reality, Goldman has two daughters, and his wife is not a psychiatrist. The countries Florin and Guilder never existed, although both were units of currency – the same unit of currency, in fact – from [|The Netherlands] and a common term for a [|2 shilling piece] in pre-[|decimal] Britain and other countries in the Commonwealth. They remain legal currency in the [|Netherlands Antilles] to this day. Goldman carried the joke further by publishing another book called //[|The Silent Gondoliers]// (about why the [|gondoliers] of [|Venice] no longer sing to their passengers) under S. Morgenstern's name.
