Moving the Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion : a true story / by Dave Eggers ; illustrated by Júlia Sardà. - First edition. - 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 30 cm
"This wacky true tale of American ingenuity 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?"-- "In this wacky true tale of American ingenuity, Annie Miller took to raising pigs in the yard after losing all but her mansion, but when the town wanted the pigs out, she removed the whole mansion instead--rolling it away slowly on logs"--
