Goodbye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton

4.0

Mellow, serene and redolent of the tranquility of olden times, the book tells the story of Mr. Chips, an esteemed teacher at Brookfield, an English boarding school. While neither the school nor the teacher are at the front-desk of prestige, the two admittedly complement and bring the best in each other, so Mr. Chips soon becomes an icon of the community. The novella is a slice-of-life type of writing which conveys the highlights of his life and career in a soft, nostalgic voice, a bit marred at times by somewhat more melancholic events.
