About this listen

In The Golden Touch, Nathaniel Hawthorne brings the ancient myth of King Midas to life in a tale of greed, regret, and redemption. King Midas, a ruler who desires endless wealth, is granted his wish to turn everything he touches into gold. However, his newfound power quickly becomes a curse as he realizes the devastating consequences of his insatiable greed. Hawthorne’s retelling invites listeners to reflect on the true value of life and the dangers of unchecked desires.

Narrated by Jennifer Kellams, this audiobook captures the enchantment and moral depth of Hawthorne’s storytelling. Kellams’ narration brings a warmth and gravity to Midas's journey, allowing listeners to feel both the wonder and the sorrow that comes with his fateful wish. Her voice guides audiences through a world of myth and caution, making each moment of the story resonate with timeless wisdom.

Ideal for both children and adults, The Golden Touch is a classic parable that reminds us of the importance of gratitude and humility. Hawthorne’s elegant prose combined with Kellams' expressive narration makes this audiobook an unforgettable experience, perfect for anyone drawn to tales with moral lessons and mythological roots.
