Excerpt from The Golden Touch: Told to the Children This King Midas was fonder of gold than of anything else in the world. He valued his royal crown chiefly because it was composed of that precious metal. If he loved anything better, or half so well, it was the one little maiden who played so merrily around her father's footstool. But the more Midas loved his daughter, the more did he desire and seek for wealth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
