William Steig – Shrek! – First US Edition 1990
£285.00
A first edition, first printing published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1990. A near fine book without inscriptions. Corners a touch bumped, but in lovely condition. Notably filmed in 2001.
The film adaptation of Shrek expanded upon the original book’s premise and introduced a wide array of colourful characters and a unique, self-aware style of storytelling. It embraced a satirical and irreverent tone, poking fun at traditional fairy tales and tropes. The film’s success can be attributed to its clever writing, captivating animation, and memorable voice acting performances by Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey), and Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona).
