The writer and Academy Award-winner James Hilton is best known as the author of Goodbye, Mr. Chips and Random Harvest as well as the novel Lost Horizon in which he invented Shangri-La--the fictional place and the utopian concept. This reference guide to the entirety of Hilton's works--novels, short stories, nonfiction, and film adaptations--gives a detailed account of his life and literary career (including a complete chronology), a listing of his works, and a key to the important characters and locations. The main body of the text is devoted to an examination of his writing, including a section devoted to adaptations of his novels into movies.
The late John R. Hammond was a research fellow at Nottingham Trent University in England. He was the secretary of the James Hilton Society and the president of the H.G. Wells Society.
