About the Book
Paid with a Kiss gives a wide-ranging look at fairies, sex, gender, and human belief through history in Western Europe, focusing primarily on Irish, UK, and French evidence. By examining mythology, folklore, literature, and anecdotes, this book answers common questions of what we know about sex and sexuality among fairies and how they interact with humans, including human-fairy relationships and offspring. Aiming to answer an array of questions on humans, fairies, and intimacy that the author has been asked over the years, Paid with a Kiss is a deep dive into nearly two millennia of folk belief.

Raves and 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.
