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

Full of enthusiasm, young English schoolmaster Mr. Chipping comes to teach at Brookfield in 1870. It iss a time when dignity and a generosity of spirit still exist, and the dedicated new schoolmaster expresses these beliefs to his rowdy students. Nicknamed Mr. Chips, this gentle and caring man helps shape the lives of generation after generation of boys. He becomes a legend at Brookfield, as enduring as the institution itself. And sad but grateful faces tell the story when the time comes 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. Such is its popularity that it has been adapted into two films and two television series.
