Goodbye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton

5.0

A small poodle is lying on a fluffy blanket with a softcover book to her right and a DVD case on her front paws. The book is Goodbye, Mr. Chips by James Hilton and the DVD is a movie adaptation of thr book.

One of my earliest memories about my dad is watching the movie “GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS” with him. My dad was a fan of English singer, actress, and composer, Petula Clark. Ms. Clark recorded music in English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian. My dad used to play her French record all the time and his favourite song was “Tout le monde veut aller au ciel mais personne ne veut mourrir” (Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven But Nobody Wants To Die). Ms. Clark played Mr. Chipping’s wife in that movie. I remember how touching the movie was and have been wanting to read the book by the same name, written by James Hilton, that inspired the movie. I ordered the book a few months ago and was surprised that it is less than one hundred pages long. It did not take me long to read it, and I enjoyed every page.
