The Faerie Queene was the product of certain definite conditions which existed in England toward the close of the sixteenth century. The first of these national conditions was the movement known as the revival of chivalry; the second was the spirit of nationality fostered by the English Reformation; and the third was that phase of the English Renaissance commonly called the revival of learning.

Once settled in Vancouver, Douglas plans to open a chocolate shop (Faerie Queene is the third he's owned in San Francisco). He is encouraged by the plethora of such shops already there, a sign that urban Canadians appreciate the sweet stuff. "We're mostly fuel eaters here," Douglas says. "We eat because we're hungry, not because there is excellent food to be had." In Vancouver, he says, "They see chocolate not as children's food, as we do, but as the good life."
