meldamo Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Does anyone have or know of a list of Newbery Award winners as to where the stories would fit chronologically in the history of the world? I'm assuming most are set in the modern time period, but I know there are some that are set during other historical periods. Thanks, Melani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Okay, just off the top of my head, forgive me if I've missed some or put them in the wrong place. They go from most recent winners back to the '40s, but I put the time after - I'm too tired to sort them further. :) Oh, list is too long, I'll put the rest in a second post.
