CSAWORD audio books presents:GOODBYE, MR CHIPS (2CDs) by James Hilton read by MARTIN JARVIS The Guardian 17.11.2007;"I was so carried away with Martin Jarvis's brilliant performance - he gets Chips's nervous little 'ahem's perfectly - that I even started singing along with 'Jerusalem' which begins every chapter."The story of Mr Chipping, classics master at Brookfield School since 1870, takes us on a beguiling journey. Sometimes Chips is an old man, dreaming by the fire. Then, a difficult young master taking 'prep' for the first time. Or. middle-aged encountering Katherine, whose 'new woman' opinions work far-reaching changes in him. Hilton's narrative, as succeeding generations of boys march onward through Chips' mind, is masterly. He interweaves a heart-wrenching love-story with the jokes and eccentricities of school life - at the same time chronicling a new, uncertain world, full of conflict and upheaval, far beyond the turrets of Brookfield. Award-winning British actor MARTIN JARVIS takes on the character of Mr Chips. His performance is remarkable for its strength, humour and compassion.COMING SOON..The Inimitable Jeeves (4CDS) by PG Wodehouse read by Martin JarvisThe first volume of Wodehouse's brilliant complete and unabridged short stories. Originally a semi-novel, this version contains self-contained stories which are nonetheless linked, often by Bingo Little, a hopeless romantic and serial romancer. release date in March 2009!See our website for latest audiobook news and offers.copyright csaword audio ( london UK )video clip created by Robert Nichol AudioProductions (RNaudioproductions London )NOT bbc audio books NOT naxos audio audiobooks NOT clipper Recorded Books inc NOT penguin BUT ALL CSAWORD AUDIO BOOK PRODUCTIONS |
