Goodbye, Mr. Chips is a novella about the life of a school teacher, Mr. Chipping, written by English writer James Hilton and first published by Little, Brown & Company in June 1934. It has been adapted into two feature films and two television presentations. The story was originally issued in 1933, as a supplement to the British Weekly, an evangelical newspaper. It came to prominence when it was reprinted as the lead piece of the April 1934 issue of The Atlantic. The success of the Atlantic publication prompted a book deal between the author and the US publisher Little, Brown & Company, who published the story in book form for the first time in June 1934. Published during The Great Depression, Little, Brown cautiously released a small first print run. Public demand for more was immediate and Little, Brown went into an almost immediate reprinting the same month. Public demand remained strong, and Little, Brown continued to reprint the book in cautious lots for many months, with at least two reprintings per month. Media Mail shipping included in the purchase price. Shipping outside the USA at cost. If you have any questions about this book please ask. Thanks, David White.
