From the publisher

Old King Midas is good, and old King Midas is wise. But when the mischievous god Dionysus offers him anything his heart desires, Midas rashly wishes that everything he touch turn to gold. At first, the golden touch seems like a blessing, but Midas soon realizes he has made a horrible mistake. His food and wine turn to gold when they touch his lips. He is tortured by the ringing, tinkling sounds of the golden world around him. Will Dionysus take pity on Midas and relieve him of the golden touch before he goes mad? Jan Mark's brilliant retelling and Juan Wijngaard's striking pictures and intricate mosaic patterns breathe new life into this classic tale, perfectly capturing both the beauty and the horror of the Midas Touch.
