Founded in 1919, the James Tait Black Memorial Prizes are among the oldest and most prestigious book prizes awarded for literature written in the English Language and are Britain’s oldest literary awards. Based at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, part of the United Kingdom, the prizes were founded by Mrs Janet Coutts Black in memory of her late husband, James Tait Black, a partner in the publishing house of A & C Black Ltd.

more than seems right — 5 years ago

If you add these up, there are more books than there are years the prize has been awarded. That is because the prize was awarded jointly a few times and because some of the prizes went to two books in a series (the Claudius books by Robert Graves, for example).
