Midnight’s Children won both the Booker Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1981 (although it was first published in late 1980, a series of delays, including a strike by dock-workers, delayed distribution of the novel). It was awarded the “Booker of Bookers” Prize and the best all-time prize winners in 1993 and 2008 to celebrate the Booker Prize 25th and 40th anniversary. In 2003, the novel was listed on the BBC’s survey The Big Read. It was also added to the list of Great Books of the 20th Century, published by Penguin Books.
