. . . Henceforth, let all ladies know that it is not THEY who need CHOCOLATE for happiness. It is CHOCOLATE that needs THEM."

Edward Monkton pens a loving parable about a lady of great kindness who gives chocolate the very reason for existing-to be eaten by her!

A beautifully presented must-have gift book for any woman with a weakness for the sweet stuff. The story provides the perfect excuse for eating chocolate-lots of it-making it the perfect present for special occasions ranging from birthdays, Christmas, and Valentine's Day, to Mother's Day, Easter, and more.

Monkton's charming narrative accompanies his original, hand-lettered black-and-white illustrations to convey the redemptive powers of the cocoa bean transformed to the elevated plateau of confectionery confidant.
