Goodbye, Mr. Chips
Overview & Summary
This short novel follows the long career of Mr. Chipping, a beloved but unassuming schoolmaster at an English boys' boarding school, from his early days as a stern young teacher through the loosening, humanizing influence of his brief marriage, and finally into a gentle old age as "Mr. Chips," a fixture cherished by generations of students. James Hilton's novel is a nostalgic, deeply sentimental portrait of a life devoted quietly to teaching.
