Goodreads asked H.P. Newquist:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

H.P. Newquist My newest book is "The Book Of Chocolate." I got the idea simply because, like most of the world, I like chocolate. I'd seen stories, mostly in articles over the years, about how chocolate is a secretive and very large business, and I thought it would be really interesting to find out where chocolate came from and how it's a fixture of cultures all over the world--for both kids and adults.
