Lost horizon: Fleeing war-torn China, a small planeload of people is hijacked to an idyllic valley in the Himalayas where time has virtually stopped. There Conway, a British diplomat, falls in love with a beautiful woman, and is asked to remain in Shangri-La as its new leader. Knight without armour: A British secret agent in Russia rescues the daughter of a Tsarist minister from a group of Bolshevik revolutionaries. Good-bye, Mr. Chips: Gentle, humorous Mr. Chipping had been known familiarly to three generations of English schoolboys at Brookfield, as Mr. Chips. As he sat in his pleasant room across from the entrance to the school, Mr. Chips recalled his life there, the jokes he had made which had become classics, and the thousands he had known and regarded as "his boys." Random harvest: An Englishman with a three-year gap in memory is compelled to search for his lost personal life. The story of Dr. Wassell: A novelization of a true WWII story. So well remembered: The life story of a man and his wife who are radically different from one another.
