Mr. Hilton`s classic story of an English schoolmaster.

Mr. Chipping, the classics master at Brookfield School since 1870, takes readers on a beguiling journey through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sometimes Chips, as he is affectionately known, is an old man who dreams by the fire; then he`s a difficult young taskmaster schooling his students, or a middle-aged man encountering the lovely Katherine, whose `new woman` opinions work far-reaching changes in him. As succeeding generations of boys march onward through Chips` mind, Hilton`s narrative remains masterful. He seamlessly interweaves a poignant love story with the jokes and eccentricities of English public school life, while also chronicling a new, uncertain world full of conflict and upheaval that extends far beyond the turrets of Brookfield.

is the story of the wonderful, gentle English schoolmaster whose name has become beloved throughout the world. There is not another book, with the possible exception of Dickens` A Christmas Carol, which has quite the same hold on readers` affections. James Hilton wrote 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. *
