MOVING THE MILLERS MINNIE MOORE MINE MANSION A ...

Author Dave Eggers and artist Júlia Sardà spin a quirky historical event into a whimsical and
tall-ish true tale of American ingenuity. Make way for history as only Dave Eggers could stage
it. It all started when John Minnie Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry
Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion  hence the Millers
Minnie Moore Mine Mansion. After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked losing all but the mansion
she and her son took to raising pigs in the yard  as some are wont to do. But the town wanted
those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie and her crew would remove the whole mansion
instead rolling it away slowly on logs while she and her son were still living in it? Narrated
with metafictional flair  this delightfully illustrated picture book is proof positive that
nonfiction can be as lively and artful as any storybook.
