Notes
  1. The Kate Greenaway Medal and Carnegie Medal are companion annual book awards by the British librarians (CILIP, formerly the Library Association). They recognise the year's best children's books published in the UK, judged for illustration and writing respectively. Mahy won two Carnegie Medals and wrote the text for one Greenaway winner, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury (all when the awards were open only to British subjects).
