Description

Book Synopsis: King Midas is a good man, and he is a devoted father to his daughter, Aurelia. Yet Midas knows no music sweeter than the rattling of golden coins, and the more gold he gathers, the more he desires. When a mysterious stranger offers to grant the king a single wish as a reward for a kindness, Midas does not hesitate: He wishes that all he touches would turn to gold. But all too soon, he learns that what at first seems a blessing can also become a curse.

The legendary man with the magic touch comes alive as a remarkably complex figure in this breathtaking new vision of perhaps the most universal of all Greek myths. Kinuko Y. Craft's radiant paintings glow with human drama, natural beauty, and golden splendor. King Midas is not a cruel man, but his passion for gold surpasses all else, save his love for his daughter. If only everything he touched would turn to gold! When Midas is granted that single wish, he rejoices — until he nearly loses his beloved child to his greed. Here is a skillfully retold story of extraordinary resonance and wisdom, with a message no reader will soon forget. Radiant paintings glow with luxurious, golden, splendor.
