About the book
"All Shrek wants is a little peace and quiet. So when Lord Farquaad promises to clear Shrek's swamp of fairy-tale creatures in exchange for Princess Fiona, Shrek embarks on a quest to rescue her. But Fiona is not as sweet as she appears, and saving her turns out to be more of a challenge than Shrek expected."--Cover p. [4].
