A British novelist who for ten years taught and published his novels in obscurity, JAMES HILTON,SOJI of a schoolmaster, first gained a national American audience when his Good-bye, Mr. Chips! appeared in the Atlantic. As his successive books have come out—Random Harvest, So Well Remembered, Nothing So Strange — his hold upon the American imagination has steadily strengthened. We can think of no writer better qualified to bring home to us the experience of the English youngsters who lived with us during the war.
