The
Newbery Medal was established in 1922 and is presented annually by the
Ameican Library Association to the author of the most distinguished
contribution
to American literature for children. It has been the standard of
excellence for children's books and is well respected by librarians,
teachers,
parents, collectors, and of course, children. As a collection,
Newbery
winners are an impressive history of publishing, illustration, story,
and
social climate of the times. Perhaps this is why they are so
collectible
as a group, and why the first editions remain among the most-sought
after
of all children's books. Due to lasting popularity, many titles
remain
in print as well. In addition to the Newbery Medal, one or more
Newbery
Honors are also awarded each year. Here is the list of winners.
