<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The modern classic about an idealistic British schoolmaster's influence on his students: "A minor miracle" (<i>The New York Times</i>).</b> <p/> Throughout his forty-three-year tenure at Brookfield, "a good public school of the second rate" in eastern England, Arthur Chipping has been Mr. Chips to his students. From his unpolished first years during the Franco-Prussian War through the radical changes of the twentieth century and the outbreak of the First World War, Mr. Chips has shaped many young lives. But Chips has been inspired as well--by the unremarkable and the extraordinary alike, by his colleagues, by a woman who will change him forever, and not least, by his children, "thousands of them, all boys." <p/> Since it was first published in 1934 to international success, <i>Goodbye, Mr. Chips</i> has never been out of print. It was followed by a collection of stories, <i>To You, Mr. Chips</i>, and provided the basis for two award-winning feature films, a stage musical, a radio play, and two television adaptations. Based on author James Hilton's experiences as a student at the Leys School, Cambridge, this short novel endures as a revelation of the difference one good teacher can make, and "what the better emotions do toward making people important" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>). <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] minor miracle--one of those rare and living pieces of writing which transcend classification, which require no precedent and are certain to have no successful imitators." --<i>The New York Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>James Hilton (1900-1954) was a bestselling English novelist and Academy Award-winning screenwriter.
