Henry Wooster

Encyclopedia : H : HE : HEN : Henry Wooster

Henry Wooster is a fictional character in the Jeeves stories, written by PG Wodehouse. He is uncle to Bertie Wooster, his late brother's son. He is, unfortunately, a "looney", of whom the family is deeply ashamed. He is kept locked up in his country house to avoid embarrassment for the family. Bertie's Aunt Agatha is convinced that it is from him that Bertie inherits his apparent traces of looniness, though she is apt to over-exaggerate her nephew's woolly-headedness for a serious mental condition. He dies fairly early in the Wodehouse canon, leaving behind a wife, Emily Wooster, and his twin sons, Claude and Eustace.
