Kipps and The History of Mr Polly
These comic novels will resonate with anyone who has ever felt trapped by circumstance. In Wells' hands they break out of the cages that society has constructed for them, learning after bitter experience the truth that 'if the world does not please you, you can change it'. Their central characters, Artie Kipps and Alfred Polly, are prisoners of their modest social class, limited education, dull work, and sterile relationships.
