About this title: 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.

"Have I never read this little book before? I have what must have first been my mother's copy. My copy is hard cover and printed in 1934.
Have I ever read the word "mnemonics" before? (Just looked up the definition.)
"Did any emotion really matter when the last trace of it had vanished from human memory;"
I'm sure I love the book because I see my father in some ways.... my grandfather.... I'm charmed. I do have a talent for often picking up just the book I need at any single moment. This is what I needed today so it gets five stars."
"I could never say I hated the book. When I finished, I wished there was a Mr. Chips was in my life, along with Mr. Smith, Dorothy, and Atticus Finch. He seems to be a sweet character and was crying my heart out at the end of the book. I suggest it to anyone who wants to read a heartwarming story."
"All teachers and people who enjoyed school because of a special teacher should read this book! I read it back in 10th grade & never thought at the timeI'd be a teacher. It is a very touching story."
"Beautiful, simple, clean. Interesting read after re-reading A Catcher in the Rye. Perspectives on boyhood prep school life at the turn of the last century."
