This book charts the history of chocolate manufacture, marketing and consumption in Britain from its origins in the eighteenth century. It then describes the golden age from 1900 to the 1970s and the subsequent US and Swiss invasions, spearheaded by brands such as Mars, Toblerone and Nestlé’s Milky Bar, including the takeovers by Nestle and Kraft.

Photographs by Mark include images of Joe Dickinson’s amazing collection of Rowntree’s memorabilia, and Mark did most of the still life and copy photography for the book.
