This book is very easy to read, broken up into short stories of just a page or two, perfect for right before bed. I am not sure the title fits, as the first "blunder" is the corset... and I am not sure the word "blunder" fits something that people chose to wear despite its displacing their vital organs and cutting off oxygen. Nonetheless, these are interesting stories of odd historical fads, happenings, and even pairings of people.
