Product Description
Moving the Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion: A True Story
Author: Dave Eggers
Format: Hardcover
Recommended for ages 4+
Dave Eggers and illustrator Júlia Sardà turn a true piece of American history into a playful picture book. It begins when John "Minnie" Moore digs a mine in Idaho and sells it to Englishman Henry Miller, who marries a local woman, Annie, and builds her a grand house.
Widowed and swindled out of all but the mansion, Annie keeps pigs in the yard — and when the town objects, she and her son astonish everyone by rolling the whole house away on logs, still living inside. Told with metafictional flair, it proves true stories can be as lively as any invented one.
