I like this version of the King Midas story in which the only person harmed by his greedy wish is himself. Why ever do modern versions in children's books mention the king's daughter also being turned to gold? And the slyness of Dionysius! Surely a tale to caution people about what they ask for. Fortunately, Dionysius is willing to change him back, if the King is willing to risk his life.
I also like the introductory page, which explains about satyrs, centaurs, and hamadryads.

After saving a tied up creature resembling a centaur, King Midas is awarded with a wish by the God Dionysus. King Midas wishes for a golden touch. Everything the King touches turns to gold including his loved ones and food and drink. The king begins to regret his wish and runs around frantically pulling out his own hair and begging Dionysus to take the gift back. The God feels that King Midas has learned his lesson and tells him how to get rid of the golden touch.

King midas meets with Dionysus and wishes that every thing he touch turn to god. It did not take him long to realized his big mistake and ask Dionysus to take it away.
