  • The Seventh Door

    Norman Leach, Patricia Ludlow

    Hardcover (Childs Play Intl Ltd, April 1, 1995)
    What drives an ill-fated King to rob the world of its colour and beauty? Greed and insecurity prevent him from sharing wealth and beauty with others. The King cruelly imprisons each of the seven daughters of a poor family. The first six daughters, who were named after the colour of the forest at the time each was born, go willingly to the castle for their own self-centered reason. Only the youngest agrees to go with the King for selfless reasons - to save her parents from starvation, to save her sisters (if they still live), and to bring colour and beauty back to the world. When she succeeds, by opposing the King's tyranny, he is turned to stone. She and her sisters rule the land with the very balance of passion and virtue which the King feared and which makes them ideal rulers. In the end, the sisters do not hate the King. They feel compassion for him and for those "those like him", who are driven by the fear of sharing their talents with others for the good of all.
