Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut.

"Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut" is a short story by J. D. Salinger, which appears in his collection Nine Stories. It was originally published in the March 20, 1948 issue of The New Yorker.The main character, Eloise, struggles to come to terms with the life she has created for herself with her husband Lew. Her true love is Walt, a member of the Glass family, for whom she pines in the wake of his death during his service in the army.

The story's title refers to an event recalled by Eloise in which she and Walt were running to catch a bus, and she sprained her ankle. Walt then said, referring to her ankle in good humor, "Poor Uncle Wiggily...".

The 1949 movie My Foolish Heart, based on this story, remains the only authorized adaptation of Salinger's writings into film. Except for a framing story, the movie bears little resemblance to the original.
