Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Background
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was first published in the US in 1964.

- The idea of recipe-thieving spies in the book was inspired by the rivalry between Cadbury and Rowntree's, two prominent chocolate companies in the UK.
- The sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, written by Roald Dahl, is titled Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.
- Roald Dahl attended Repton School in Derbyshire, England, where he was a taste-tester for Cadbury, which inspired his experience with chocolate companies and influenced his writing of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
