Kipps (Paperback, New ed)

Orphaned at an early age, Artie Kipps is stunned to discover upon reading a newspaper that he is the grandson of a wealthy gentleman?and the inheritor of his fortune. Thrown dramatically into the upper classes, he struggles to learn the etiquette and rules of polite society. But, as he soon discovers, becoming a ?true gentleman? is neither as easy nor as desirable as it first appears. "Kipps" is a hilarious tale of one man's struggle for selfimprovement and a witty satire of pretension.
