Authors that won the Newbery more than once?

Question

What authors have won the Newbery award more than once, and what books did they write?

Answer 1

Well the only one I knew of was E.L. Konigsburg From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and The View From Saturday. However this lady:

apparently had a lot of time on her hands and has compiled a list of all multiple medal winners/honours winners (3), all multiple medal winners (2), all single medal winners/honours winners (11), and all multiple honours winners (12). Lots of great books in there!

Answer 2

It depends if you mean just Newbery Medals or if you include Newbery Honor Books as well. The award is given by the American Library Association (ALA). A complete list can be found at the ALA website (www.ala.org), specifically: http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/awardsscholarships/literaryawds/newberymedal/newberyhonors/newberymedal.htm

Answer 3

E.L. Konigsburg, Joseph Krumgold, Lois Lowry, Katherine Paterson, and Elizabeth George Speare have each been presented 2 Newbery Medals. no one has gained it extra advantageous than two times.
