...enlists the beast to track down Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), whom the monarch seeks to make his bride. Joining Shrek in this journey, due to the law mandated by Animation Codes and Regulations Section 231b, is a wacky sidekick.

Since then, Hawass and his team have been digging extensively in Bahariya, turning up hundreds of mummies and treasures beyond imagination. Some of their findings appear in Hawass's Valley of the Golden Mummies (Abrams; $49.50; 224 pages), a richly illustrated text due in bookstores this month...
