The collection comprises short stories mainly about Mr Chips, alongside an autobiographical essay on education, and was noted at the time to be wildly popular with Hilton's readers. The book begins as autobiography before shifting into Hilton's vision of a better society, developed through a more detailed portrait of Chips and his gentle influence on generations of schoolchildren. It contains stories such as 'A Chapter of Autobiography', 'Gerald and the Candidate', 'Young Waveney', 'Mr Chips Takes a Risk', 'Mr Chips Meets a Sinner', 'Mr Chips Meets a Star', and 'Merry Christmas, Mr Chips'.
