We have not yet determined whether any later Newbery-winning books can go online.
The Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded to an author from any country who has produced "the most outstanding work of an idealistic tendency", was established in 1901. The prize is given to an author, and does not usually cite individual books. Online and other public-domain books by winning authors are listed below. For more information on the Nobel Prize, including information on recent winners, see the
official Nobel Prize web site. (That site provided information on many of the titles listed below.)
