Good-bye, Mr. Chips: A Play in Three Acts (Goodbye)

London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1938. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition. Slightly cocked, near fine in very good dustwrapper with some soiling and the publisher's later reduced price label on the spine. Hilton's own adaptation of his novel, which was the basis for two films: the 1939 Sam Wood-directed version with Robert Donat (who beat out Clark Gable, Henry Fonda, and others for the Best Actor Oscar in what was probably Hollywood's best year ever), Greer Garson, and Paul Henreid and the 1969 remake directed by Herbert Ross with Peter O'Toole, Petula Clark, and Michael Redgrave. A very nice copy, and quite uncommon.
