Moving the Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion: A True Story Zusammenfassung

Moving the Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion: A True Story Dave Eggers

Author Dave Eggers and artist Julia Sarda spin a quirky historical event into a whimsical and tall-ish true tale of ingenuity.

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. After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked - losing all but the mansion - she and her son took to raising pigs, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie 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, make way for history as only Dave Eggers could stage it.

Moving the Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion: A True Story Bewertungen

Witty and wonderfully illustrated [...] It's delightful for two reasons: Eggers's wry narration and the mischievous illustration by Julia Sarda. -- Lucy Bannerman * The Times *
Fascinating in the extreme, and told with such wit, humour and flair, this is a wonderful work of non-fiction which will engage young and older readers alike! [...] A stunner of a book. * Mini Travellers Blog *
Slightly bizarre, this would make an entertaining read aloud. * Red Reading Hub *
This delightfully quirky but true tale unveils a fascinating chapter of history with a touch of humour and resourcefulness [...] Eggers' witty narrative, lots of tongue-in-cheek repeating lines, and narrative intrusion to make us smile and lighten the tone, alongside Sarda's masterful illustrations make this book a gem for readers of all ages. Children and adults alike will be charmed by the resourceful protagonist, Annie Miller, and her daring plan to save her beloved home. Moving the Millers' Minnie Moore Mine Mansion is a heartwarming and entertaining read that leaves a lasting impression. * Books for Keeps *
