Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of bundling, a courtship custom with roots in ancient Celtic and Germanic practices. The author traces its evolution from the British Isles, through the Netherlands, and to the United States, dispelling misconceptions and revealing its surprising prevalence among various social classes. The book delves into the cultural and practical reasons for bundling, examining its role in promoting intimacy, fostering community, and addressing the challenges of a sparsely populated frontier.

By examining the historical and cultural context of bundling, this book sheds new light on the social and sexual mores of past centuries and offers a nuanced understanding of a custom that has often been misunderstood and maligned.
