Illustrated by
K. Y. Craft.
This sophisticated retelling, set in the Middle Ages, places King Midas in a sumptuous palace and portrays him as a goodhearted, devoted father with an unfortunate obsession for gold. The elaborate oil-over-watercolor illustrations show the wondrous, tragic effects of the golden touch, as Midas's bedcovers, his garden, and then his daughter turn gradually to gold before the reader's eyes.
