Colonel Ricardo was said to have been Kenneth Grahame's inspiration for Toad of Toad Hall in Wind in the Willows, as he drove round the village in a yellow Rolls-Royce and would offer lifts to any residents he saw.
One of the Fables that he frequently contacts is Mr. Toad and his son TJ (Toad Jr.), who live in a run-down apartment building nearby.
