The inspiration for Mr. Toad's wayward mischievousness and boastfulness was Kenneth Grahame's only
child Alastair: a family friend, Constance Smedley, overheard Grahame telling Alastair the exploits of Toad as
a bedtime story, and noted that "Alastair's own tendency to exult in his exploits was gently satirized in Mr.
Toad".[1] Colonel Francis Cecil Ricardo (1852–1924), the first owner of a car in Cookham in Berkshire, where
Grahame wrote the books is also thought to have been an influence. Other suggestions include Walter
Cunliffe, 1st Baron Cunliffe.[2]
The first story arc of the Batman and Robin comic book by Grant Morrison features a villainous character with Voiced by Eric Blore (1949 film)
