This is another book about Greek mythology and the classic story of King Midas. This is a classic with some variations and modifications without losing its essence. The book has great illustrations that I am sure students will enjoy. ( )

The myth of King Midas is one of my favourite stories from the Greek tradition, but I really enjoyed Craft's change of location to a mock-War of the Roses-era England. Greed for gold is afterall a universal problem, and the contrast of the living roases that the King's daughter loves so much is a nice nod to the English themes. ( )

This is a beautifully illustrated edition of the story of King Midas and His Golden Touch. ( )

King Midas is a classic in my mind because of the effect that it had on me as a little kid. I remember being very disturbed by the idea the first time I heard the story and the illustrations were so realistically terrifying. In my older age I can really appreciate the message of this story and the incredible illustrations that accompany it, this still holds up as a great lesson. ( )

This is a beautifully illustrated version of the classic story King Midas and the Golden Touch. It brings to life the details of the story in oil paintings throughout the story and reminds us of the fable and why it is still told today.
