Brave Irene is Irene Bobbin, the dressmaker's daughter. Her mother, Mrs. Bobbin, isn't feeling so well and can't possibly deliver the beautiful ball gown she's made for the duchess to wear that very evening. So plucky Irene volunteers to get the gown to the palace on time, in spite of the fierce snowstorm that's brewing—quite an errand for a little girl. But where there's a will, there's a way, as Irene proves in the danger-fraught adventure that follows. She must defy the wiles of the wicked wind, her most formidable opponent, and overcome many obstacles before she completes her mission.

Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.

Critic reviews
“Since one of the great pleasures of Steig's books is the language he uses, it's a particular delight to have the recording of The One and Only Shrek! Plus Five Other Stories read by Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. You can really hear that the brilliance of 'Shrek' lies in the language Steig uses...one of the most delightful moments is when Shrek accosts a peasant, who is busy 'singing and scything,' and Tucci snarls Shrek's greeting: 'You there, varlet, why so blithe?' Shrek then robs the yokel of his lunch: 'Pheasant, peasant? What a pleasant present!'” —Los Angeles Times
“Listeners will surely hear the glee dripping from the full-bodied, though never over-the-top, performances by Streep and Tucci.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“I did, I admit, compare my narrative abilities to those of Tucci and Streep...And yes, they were better. What did you expect? But what great material they had to work with.” —Malcolm Jones, Newsweek

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Not like the funny movie but liked other stories
Please be warned this is NOTHING like the movie Shrek! Its much different, scarier and just a completely different story. Theres no funny parts, it's scary the whole way through.. that being said we DO skip past it to hear the other stories. Meryl Streep reading "The Amazing Bone" is wonderful, and Stanley Tucci reading Dr DeSoto, excellent. Just NOT for kids easily frightened, all the stories have the capacity for nightmares, someone is getting threatened to be eaten in every story, and its a bit gruesome. I really dont recommend Shrek to any one whos seen the movie, but the other stories I definitley do . NOT like the movie Shrek at all, but other stories great!

Hands down favorite!
I recommend The One and Only Shrek! to all my friends looking to introduce their kiddos to audiobooks. The voice work by Stanley Tucci and Meryl Streep is fantastic. The stories are just the right length to maintain the interest of all ages. Most importantly, I don't mind having to listen to them over and over again because my kids just don't get sick of them.
