Delphi Complete Works of James Hilton Illustrated

James Hilton was an English interwar novelist, whose popular works include ‘Lost Horizon’, ‘Goodbye, Mr. Chips’ and ‘Random Harvest’, all of which were made into highly successful films. He is noted for his deft style and impeccable gift for storytelling.
