Goodbye Mr Chips is a tender biography of an English schoolmaster who loved his vocation at Brookfield Public School for boys. Mr Chips possessed two gifts, which marked the born teacher, a sympathetic understanding of his pupils and the ability to impart high standards without priggishness or preaching. Goodbye Mr Chips is told with moving sincerity and gives a background sketch of a public school as it was before and through two world wars and it gives a credible portrait of simple goodness.
