Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul is a novel by H. G. Wells, first published in 1905. It is a novel that tells the story of the titular character, Arthur Kipps, a young man who rises from his humble background to become a successful and wealthy man.

The novel begins with Kipps working as a draper's apprentice in a small town. He leads a modest and unfulfilled life until he unexpectedly inherits a large fortune from a wealthy uncle. With his newfound wealth, Kipps moves to London to start a new life.
In London, Kipps faces challenges and adventures as he navigates his new affluent lifestyle. He becomes overwhelmed by the luxurious and pretentious world that he is now a part of, feeling out of place and disconnected from his roots. Despite his attempts to fit in, he struggles to find true happiness.
