Publisher's Summary

King Midas is obsessed with gold: counting it, touching it, imagining it. But when a strange young man grants his wish for a golden touch, things don't go quite as he planned - particularly for his daughter Marigold.

In these selections from classic American author Nathaniel Hawthorne's charming retellings of Greek myths, children meet Midas and another engaging troublemaker, Pandora, and learn lessons about love and forgiveness.

Included in this collection: The Golden Touch / Pandora's Box: The Paradise of Children
