How to describe Uncle? Uncle is a fabulously wealthy elephant who owns a giant castle/city/fortress called Homeward, and is constantly battling the slovenly inhabitants of Badfort (who have great names like Beaver Hateman and Jellytussle). The stories are rambly and a bit pointless and silly and we think they’re pretty great.
