What lies behind the mysterious doors of Duke Bluebeard's magnificent but dimly lit castle? Eaten up with curiosity, Judith persuades her sorrowing husband to give her the keys only to discover a torture chamber, an armoury, a glowing jewel house, a garden of flowers, a cloud-clapped kingdom, a brimming lake of tears...and behind the last?
