Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul is a novel by H. G. 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.
It was adapted into the stage and cinema musical Half a Sixpence.
Kipps aka Kips (first name, date of birth and date of death unknown) was a noted English wicketkeeper in Georgian cricket. He was from Eltham in Kent but other personal information about him, including his first name, is unknown. Kipps played for Kent county cricket teams and also for All-England.
Kipps is first recorded in the famous Kent v All-England match at the Artillery Ground on 18 June 1744, though it is believed he had already had a long career before that. This match is the opening entry in Scores & Biographies. Kipps was top scorer in both innings for Kent, who won by 1 wicket, and he completed one stumping and took a catch.
He continued to play in major matches until 1747 when he is last recorded.
