About the Author

For those not immediately familiar with it, the name Toad Hall comes from the wonderful story “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Graham. Mr. Toad is the owner of the old house, which bears the name of Toad Hall, and he is a splendid fellow. He is friendly and passionate about life. He chases the next pursuit with gusto and style, though not with any sticktoitiveness.

At any given moment, you are likely to find items on movies or a current political issue, or perhaps a series of sketches Chara finally feels brave enough to share with the world.
