I love the story "The Princess Bride". I own the Goldman 'good parts' version. It also includes the first chapter of "Buttercup's Baby". I've tried so hard to find that book. But my friends say that it was never written. Was it? If so, where can I find it? If not, then why would Goldman invent a book never written...and leave off with Fezzik dead?!?!?

The Goldman "good parts" version is the only version. The Morgenstern version he talks about in the prologue never existed, he just made that up to add another dimension to the story, to add "historical interest" and to give himself a pretext to insert editorial comments. So Goldman already invented a book never written in the first part.
"Buttercup's Baby" would have been the sequel - again, one that Goldman intended to write himself, not edit from some "original". But unfortuantely, he never actually wrote it.

Go to the site to review some comments on why. It states that it may have been publishing difficulties for the "sequel"
