Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure''. [[William Goldman]].</ref> King explains this is an inside joke from Goldman, "who's an old friend. He's done the screen adaptations for a number of my novels. He did [[Misery (film)|''Misery'']], ''[[Dreamcatcher (2003 film)|Dreamcatcher]]'' and he also did [[Hearts in Atlantis (film)|''Hearts in Atlantis'']], and although he's not credited, he worked on [[Dolores Claiborne (film)|''Dolores Claiborne'']] as well, so Bill and I go back a long way. I admired his books before I ever met him and as a kind of return tip of the cap, he put me in that book ''The Princess Bride''."<ref name="OfficialFAQ" />
