Mabel Elisabeth Evershed, Thomas James Beedle, Emily Jane Baldwin, Naomi Esther Cook

Abstract


Prince Pondicherry of India, from the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [1], ordered a huge palace to be created for him made entirely out of chocolate, but soon after it was completed the entire palace melted around him due to the heat of the sun.
