Criteria / coverage

Active years represented: 1926-present. Book winners from 1926 through 2025, excluding explicit no-award years and three out-of-scope works: the poetry collection Nature Poems (1928) and the two fiction winners, Those of the Forest (1955) and Martin Marten (2017). The source has no 2019 entry, which remains an explicit unresolved gap rather than being labeled a no-award year. The 2018 lifetime-achievement medal for nature poetry is not a book record and is excluded.
