Henry

Cards (2)

  • Henry is the biggest littlun (and one of the choir boys) and a relative of the littlun with the mulberry-marked face who disappears after the first big fire. Too young and naive to understand what had happened to his relative “if he had been told that the other boy had gone home in an aircraft, he would have accepted the statement without fuss or disbelief” (p.62). 
  • Henry is the object of Roger's seemingly innocent game of throwing stones. Later, Henry defects to Jack's camp and is part of the raiding party that steals fire from Ralph and Piggy.
