Narrow in ambition but sentimental in essence, the novella follows the life of a British school teacher, Mr.Chips. He was an ordinary gentleman and perhaps an average educator. It also touches on the way school is affected by outside events like the First World War.
The story and characters are a bit dull for my liking but there is an emotional attachment with this novella. It was a part of our english curriculum in intermediate. Its memories are with me,though vague and consisting of bits and pieces. Our English teacher was nicknamed Mr.Chips and aptly so, because he was also a kind and amiable person.
