A comfortable and inviting venue. Cask ale, gravity poured. And much much more. So why Kipps' Alehouse? Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul is a novel by H. G.
(445)

Wells, first published in 1905. Humorous yet sympathetic, this perceptive social novel is generally regarded as a masterpiece, and was the author's own favourite work. Kipps is apprenticed to the Folkestone Drapery Bazaar, run by Mr. Shalford. Kipps is a rags-to-riches study in class differences, and the novel's chief dramatic interest is how the protagonist negotiates the intellectual, moral, and emotional difficulties that come with wealth and a change of social station. Kipps is the only character in the novel who is fully developed, and all events are narrated from his point of view
