Items related to Goodbye Mr. Chips
Full of enthusiasm, young English schoolmaster Mr. Chipping came to teach at Brookfield in 1870. It was a time when dignity and a generosity of spirit still existed, and the dedicated new schoolmaster expressed these beliefs to his rowdy students. Nicknamed Mr. Chips, this gentle and caring man helped shape the lives of generation after generation of boys. He became a legend at Brookfield, as enduring as the institution itself. And sad but grateful faces told the story when the time came for the students at Brookfield to bid their final goodbye to Mr. Chips.
There is not another book, with the possible exception of Dickens's A Christmas Carol, that has quite the same hold on readers' affections. James Hilton wrote Goodbye, Mr. Chips in loving memory of his schoolmaster father and in tribute to his profession. Over the years it has won an enduring place in world literature and made untold millions of people smile--with a catch in the throat.

Review:
"A gem for all time as fresh as when first published in 1934...Martin Jarvis's performance is magnificent." (The Observer)
"I was carried away with Martin Jarvis's brilliant performance - he gets Chips's nervous little 'ahem's perfectly - that I even started singing along with 'Jerusalem' which begins every chapter." (The Guardian)
