i have seen that the book hasn't really been published, but in the newest versions of "the princess bride" there is the first chapter of Buttercup's baby. does anyone know if the book has been published and discontinued or just never published? and also if the book will ever be published?

It's not. S. Morgenstern is the fictional creation of William Goldman. Much like the promised reunion scene, "Buttercup's Baby" does not actually exist and is just part of "The Princess Bride" mythos.

"Random House (Del Rey) does not list Buttercup's Baby as a book that has or will be released. I doubt that Bill Goldman will ever write it. He seems to have that strange sort of sense of humor that delighted in having millions of people think that there really was an original story by S. Morgenstern (originally, anyway). I think Bill Goldman is brilliant and I love his multi-level writing style. But he'll probably get a bigger kick knowing that we're all anxiously awaiting a sequel than he ever would from writing the actual sequel. There is no Florin, no S. Morgenstern, no S. Morgenstern estate (obviously Stephen King was never slated to abridge Buttercup's baby since there is no Buttercup's baby, except for the first chapter Goldman wrote in the most recent edition of Princess Bride; Stephen King and Golman are actually friends and King gets a kick out of Goldman's fictional conversation with him). Bill Goldman has no fat son, his wife isn't a physcologist but they did divorce in the 90s. I hope he does write it, but he's in his 70s and I doubt he will. Wouldn't it be just like Goldman to have written Buttercup's Baby only to have it released onced he's passed on? That would be the ultimate last laugh. Jackie posts on 10/14/2006 6:16:08 PM

Buttercup is the green eyed powerpuff girl. I can't really answer the second part of your question but I figure a half answered question is better than an unanswered one.

Apparently, a full version of Buttercup's Baby is slated to be published in 2009.
