THE GOLDEN TOUCH

by Nathaniel Hawthorne ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1959

Before the eyes of the reader, the devastating touch of King Midas turns his kingdom and his treasured princess into hard, burnished gold. In this version by Hawthorne, the myth assumes a relevance to the contemporary reader and Paul Galdone's red and gold illustrations not only convey a very special character to the king, but endow his entire realm with a metallic splendor so basic to the story.
