  • Description: YOU DON'T GET TO 100 without witnessing monumental changes over the years. When the Newbery Award premiered in 1922, the world was a different place. That year, the Tomb of Tutankhamun was uncovered in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Mussolini and the Fascist party came to power in Italy. The Bolsheviks won the Russian Civil War. And here in the United States, a New England bookseller by the name of Frederic C. Melcher helped foment the world's first literary prize for a children's book. Until the moment Melcher first stood before members of the American Library Association (ALA) in 1920 and proposed an award for the best-written American books for kids, no literary prize for children's literature existed anywhere.
