What kind of eccentric?
The harmless kind — mostly. Uncle Penne forgets errands, birthdays, and where he parked his wagon, but he has never once forgotten a story. He embellishes the way other people breathe: a fishing trip becomes a naval battle, a wrong turn becomes a discovery. The family long ago agreed on a rule: believe the spirit of an Uncle Penne story, and fact-check the details at your leisure.
Underneath the bluster is a genuinely brave old noodle. When the Soggy Years threatened the harvest festival, it was Uncle Penne who walked the flooded roads telling stories at every shelter — keeping spirits up until the waters fell.
