About this list
The Daily Telegraph, 101 Books
The Daily Telegraph published an article in 1899 listing the 100 Best Novels. The list was selected by the editor of The Daily Telegraph with the assistance of Sir Edwin Arnold, H. D. Traill, and W. L. Courtney.
These books were also sold to the public, so it was a commercial proposition.
This list was originally published in 1899 and was added to this site over 2 years ago.
