In the early part of the 20th century, Fred Thompson, along with some help from his friend Elmer Skip Dundy, created and built Luna Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn. You can read the brief synopsis of Fred Thompson in this wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_Park,_Coney_Island_(1903)   Fred pair- painting & drawing

Fred Thompson is now a fictional character in my upcoming story

“Coney – A Trip to Luna Park”

In my story: “Coney – A Trip to Luna Park”, (which is complete fiction of course!) Fred Thompson builds his new amusement park – and keep in mind this term probably hadn’t been invented yet – directly on top of the homes of our 2 heroes – Sister & Brother Rabbit. Our 2 Rabbits are not happy about this.  And unlike other rabbits who would run away as frightened bunnies are known to do… these Rabbits turn around and confront poor old Freddy T!

Fred Thompson meets the Rabbits! Pencil sketch for book – “Coney – A Trip to Luna Park!”
