The Anne Spencer Lindbergh Prize program honors Anne Spencer Lindbergh, eldest daughter of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who died of cancer in 1993 at the age of 53. Anne Spencer Lindbergh was an acclaimed author of juvenile fantasies which place ordinary children in extraordinary situations. Nick of Time, The People in Pineapple Place, Three Lives to Live and The Worry Week are a few of her more well-known books.
The Prize program offers a $5,000 award to the author whose children's fantasy novel is judged to be the best published in the English language over a two-year period. In addition, one or more Honor Books may be chosen, each receiving a $1,000 prize for the author.
