Synopsis
The classic story of English school life, by the celebrated popular novelist. Mr. Chipping (alias Chips) is a shy and somewhat reclusive scholar who takes a post as classics master at Brookfield, a small boarding school in the English countryside, and remains there for the rest of his life. Despite a brief, happy, and tragic marriage, he grows into the role of the consummate bachelor, cantankerous, fussy and eccentric, and greatly loved by the generations of boys who pass through his classes.

Industry Reviews
"A little watercolor of the sentimental English school, and an excellent example of its type. No tears will flow over this story of a schoolmaster who gradually turned into a mythical salty character instead of a drone, but everybody will feel like crying, and that does us all good."
New Republic - Matthews (07/18/1934)

"Mr. Chips is a genuine creation and I am glad the story was written about him."
Saturday Review - William R. Benet (06/09/1934)

"Mr. Hilton has given us a tender, sweet story, the memory of which lingers."
Veale

"The book is a triumph in the art of that sentimentalism which the British like just after having been especially realistic. It can be guaranteed to hit almost every soft spot in the reading public."
Veale

"'Good-bye, Mr. Chips' is 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....It has tenderness and humor, and smoothly avoids the pitfalls of sentimentality and bathos. Above all, it creates in Mr. Chips himself a memorable and living character."
Matthews

"The little tale of Mr. Chips dreaming away his last days within sight and sound of the school that has absorbed his life is very much a true story and very moving, although it trembles on the edge of an uncomfortable sentimentality once or twice."
Benet
