Bookroo's summary
Shrek, a grumpy ogre, leaves his swamp to explore the world. Along the way, he encounters bizarre creatures and challenges, ultimately meeting a princess who matches his unique charm. Will Shrek find happiness in this topsy-turvy quest, or will his monstrous nature keep him isolated? Discover a tale where beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, and love defies all expectations.
From the publisher
Before Shrek made it big on the silver screen, there was William Steig’s SHREK!, a book about an ordinary ogre who leaves his swampy childhood home to go out and see the world. Ordinary, that is, if a foul and hideous being who ends up marrying the most stunningly ugly princess on the planet is what you consider ordinary.
