Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul, Classics To Go

Kipps, also known as The Remarkable Mr. Kipps, is a novel by H. G. Wells. It marks a turning point for the author, moving away from the futuristic science fiction for which he is famed and onto more down-to-earth accounts of twentieth-century British society. Within it, Wells clearly draws from his own knowledge of Britain's social structure to present an interesting autobiographical tale. Contents include: The Little Shop at New Romney, The Emporium, The Woodcarving Class, Chitterlow, 'Swapped!', The Unexpected, The Walshinghams, Engaged, The Bicycle Manufacturer, The Pupil Lover, Discords, London, Kipps Enters Society, The Labyrinthodon, et cetera.

H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.
