HarperCollins in new partnership with Nestlé’s Quality Street

HarperCollins UK has secured a publishing partnership with Nestlé’s Quality Street.

HarperCollins UK will publish the first of two books in November 2018 endorsed by the Quality Street brand. The Quality Street Girls is a novel set in the Halifax factory (where Quality Street has been made for over 80 years) during the 1930s and is written by chocolate historian Penny Thorpe.

Kate Bradley said: “HarperCollins are thrilled to be working with such a historic brand and the book will be the perfect gift over the festive season. As well as being a chocolate historian par excellence, Penny is a superb storyteller who has perfectly captured the essence of what it meant to be a Quality Street girl.”

Chocolate historian and author of the book, Penny Thorpe said: “I’ve loved researching the history of the Quality Street factory and the wonderful men and women who have worked there over the years.”

Debbie Bowen, senior brand manager for Quality Street said: “This new book takes the reader back to where [Quality Street] started and we are delighted that, through unprecedented access to our archives, Penny Thorpe’s story gives people a look behind the scenes at working life in our factory back in the 1930s.”
