I hope that this site will be a help to anyone who is romantically involved with a first
cousin. First, I want to introduce to you a lovable married cousin couple...
The illustration on the right is from "The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies" (read it here) written by Beatrix Potter (1866-1943)
In this story we are told that Benjamin Bunny
Peter Rabbit's cousin) marries Peter's sister Flopsy. As
you can see, Benjamin and his cousin went on to have a
few baby bunnies.
A lot of people would think that there
is something wrong with Ben and Flopsy, that they are
deviants, not possessing good sense. Much of society is also under the impression
that cousin marriage has always been avoided. I believe that "The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies", an unassuming children's book Published in the early part
of the 20th century, shows this condemnation to be amiss.
