"He was a legend."
A quintessentially British story told as the reminiscences of a schoolmaster beloved by generations of boys, GOOD-BYE, MR. CHIPS is a heartwarming classic. It received rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic: it was selected as the LONDON EVENING STANDARD's Book of the month, and the NASHVILLE BANNER noted that "[n]o dearer book has appeared in many years" (24). The numerous media adaptations of GOOD-BYE, MR. CHIPS are further testaments to its quality. This true first edition, published several months before the British edition, is a lovely addition to any bookshelf.
