The British Book Award for Literary Fiction was one of the most short-lived of the British Book Awards being awarded on only two occasions. Oddly enough the first winner also won the British Book Award for Children's Book of the Year which presumably says something about the state of either literary fiction or children's fiction or both.

Past Winners

• 2004 - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Mark Haddon
