King Midas and Pandora’s Box by Nathaniel Hawthorne

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.

The stories included in this collection are:

1. The Golden Touch (King Midas)
2. Pandora’s Box (A Paradise of Children)

Written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Narrated by Stephen McLaughlin and Tavia Gilbert
