Reviews

I'm always excited to read a new book by Morgan Daimler, and 'Paid With a Kiss: Love and Sex in Fairy Belief' was no exception. She delves deep into the folklore behind gender, relations, and sexuality with the Fair Folk in Celtic, Norse, and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Drawing from a rich tapestry of sources including Shakespearean plays, Welsh myths, Scottish ballads, and contemporary literature, Daimler reveals the intriguing world behind the magic. 'Paid With a Kiss' was a fantastic vacation into an enchanting world, and is a must-read for both scholars and enthusiasts of fairy belief.--Christy Nicholas, author of The Druid's Brooch Series
