Exquisite paint and ink drawings in jewel tones of blues, greens and gold illuminate this tale from Greek mythology. Weak and greedy King Midas, granted a wish, asks for everything he touches to be turned into gold. The foolish king soon realizes that the wish is really a curse and vows to mend his selfish and self-centered ways.
