It is written in a unique style where we enter into the world and heart of this story at the time of long long ago and are involved with the heroes in the tale yet at the same time read backstage on why and how this book was written, the editing, shaping and reconstucting that was done to the original version -
The author William Goldman leaves us with 2 ideas from this book - The first is how the good parts where taken form the original version and used to make up the story in this print and two how the author Goldman came to carry this out. He explains how he came across the original version and what happened in his writing experience so he could get to this lovely book now.
