Can you tell us more about the illustrations - e.g., simple or detailed, realistic or cartoon-like, painted watercolors or bold graphics, bright or dark colors, black & white?
Illustrator mentioned in message #1 - Ruth Sanderson
Yes! It is The Seventh Door! Thank you so much Becca. Thank you Kris!I will hunt for that book now!
Found it used on Ebay! My daughter and I were trying to remember the title and searched for years! Becca you've made my day! This will be her birthday gift.
You're welcome - I'm so glad I could help, and that you managed to track down a copy!
Spoiler
One by one the nobleman ends up marrying all of the poor man's daughters. When is the youngest daughter's turn and she arrives at the nobleman's castle she starts looking for her sisters by going into different rooms that lead to different seasons such as autumn or winter. She hears her sisters whispers while she's looking for them. I believe the sisters each went into different doors thinking they were going to find a treasure and are now trapped inside those different worlds that look like enchanted forests. I'm new to this group. Thank you all for your help.
