Also known as "Princess Bride: the Good Parts."

When I read "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" to my kids for the first time, I realized how much crap I'd skimmed over when I was a kid. Sometimes there's a whole page just describing the fish swimming around. I skipped a lot of stuff.

I did read them "Lord of the Rings."
