Mr Chipping, classics master at Brookfield school since 1870 - an old man - is reflecting upon his life in education. This cleverly and touchingly woven story intertwines a heart-wrenching and joyful romance with Mr Chipping's life as a teacher and the highs and lows that he has experienced in that capacity.
Martin Jarvis is the perfect reader, as his lilting and soothing voice carries listeners along on a swell of nostalgia, leaving them wishing that they could have been there to celebrate all of Mr Chipping's happiness with him.

"A great, feel-good book. It was shorter than I had expected (since they made a full length movie out of it), but perhaps part of the beauty of it is that so much could be expressed in so few words. Definitely a book to add to my permanent collection. " — Laura (5 out of 5 stars)

" I happened to see half of the original movie and fell in love with the story...had to get the book and it too was well done, and absorbing...thank you "
" A sweet quick story about an "average" person's life. Almost more a series of vignettes than a full-fledged story, but very well done. "
" Really enjoyed the supreme storytelling of this book. So nicely written. Character-driven and easily identifiable. Beautiful, sweet story. "
" It was sappy in a disconnected kind of way. That's possible, right? "
" Hmmm.I found the writing to be rather simplistic and disjointed. Nothing offensive, just not a favorite. "
" Was prompted to reread after catching the last half of the film on TV. Found book to be simple but eloquent. Guess that's why it's still around. "
" Nice quick read...my students would have issues because of the language. Sweet book about a teacher and how they influence and change lives!!! Inspiring! "
" Mr.Chips was an old professor. He was very inteligent and resevered man. Even though he was old his doctor said he was healthier than he was. All Mr.Chips students loved him. "
" This is a sweet little novel full of 1930s flavor and a bit of British humor. It's a must-read if you like classics from that era, and worth trying out even if you don't. "
