"The King of the Golden River" by John Ruskin is a fantasy story written in 1841 and published in 1851. In the fertile Treasure Valley, two cruel brothers mistreat a magical visitor and lose everything, forcing them into poverty. When they melt their younger brother Gluck's golden mug, they release the King of the Golden River, who offers a tantalizing challenge: climb the mountain and transform the river into gold. But this
quest demands more than greed—it tests the human heart itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
