The <shape> CSS data type defines the specific form (shape) of a region. The region represents the part of an element to which the clip property applies.
Note: <shape> and rect() work in conjunction with clip, which has been deprecated in favor of clip-path. When possible, use clip-path and the <basic-shape> data type instead.
Syntax
The <shape> data type is specified using the rect() function, which produces a region in the form of a rectangle.
rect()
rect(top, right, bottom, left) top
Is a <length> representing the offset for the top of the rectangle relative to the top border of the element's box.
Is a <length> representing the offset for the right of the rectangle relative to the left border of the element's box.
Is a <length> representing the offset for the bottom of the rectangle relative to the top border of the element's box.
Is a <length> representing the offset for the left of the rectangle relative to the left border of the element's box.
Interpolation
When animated, values of the <shape> data type are interpolated over their top, right, bottom, and left components, each treated as a real, floating-point number. The speed of the interpolation is determined by the timing function associated with the animation.

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
