{"product_id":"9781845138202","title":"Miss Savidge Moves Her House: The Extraordinary Story of May Savidge and her House of a Lifetime","description":"The hardback edition of this book, published in 2009 under the title A Lifetime in the Building, saw its extraordinary story featured not only in the Daily Mail but also Hello magazine  and quickly sold out two printings. Now it is re-launched in paperback under a new title to highlight its appeal as the tale of an extraordinary, maverick woman and her even more remarkable achievement. May Savidge lived in a half-timbered house in Hertfordshire. When the council served her with a compulsory purchase notice to make way for a roundabout, May decided she had to move  but so did the house. So she had the whole thing dismantled and shipped to the North Norfolk coast and then spent the rest of her life rebuilding it, single-handed. Her fame spread around the world. Antiques Roadshow broadcast, unprecedentedly, two features about her house. Now her niece, Christine Adams, who inherited May’s house and completed it  at the cost of her own marriage - tells her aunt’s life story from the voluminous diaries and letters she left behind","brand":"Aurum Press, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136070893808,"sku":"9781845138202","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845138202_p0.jpg?v=1763745049","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845138202","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
