Whitbread Book Awards
Winners: Book of the Year | First Novel | Novel | Poetry | Biography | Children's Book | 2002
At the heart of the philosophy of the Whitbread Book Awards, established in 1971, is their commitment to select well-written British books that people will enjoy.
The Whitbread is one of the longest-running and most prestigious book awards in the UK. Since its launch in 1971, its structure has evolved; but it’s never diverted from its original ethos of identifying and celebrating some of the most enjoyable books published in the UK each year across a number of different genres.
There are six awards in total – five category awards (First Novel | Novel | Poetry | Biography | Children's Book) and, from these, one overall winner – the Whitbread Book of the Year.
