The youngest is called Strawberries and Cream because of her hair and complexion. She is given a set of keys and is told she can go anywhere she wants...but she cant go through the last door......but of cause she does and she some how sets her trapped sisters go. Does anyone remember the name of the picture book? its called something like 12 doors or something. Thanks!!!!

Ive found out its a Charles Perrault book (Bluebeard) but i was wondering if anyone knew the name of the childrens picture book that was done.Thanks!!!!

It sounds like "Blue Beard"
Bluebeard is the title character in a famous fairy tale about a violent nobleman and his over-curious wife. It was written by Charles Perrault and first published in 1697.

This probably won't be much help, but its not a work by Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm or from Norske Folkeeventyr (Norwegian Folktales).
The name of the youngest girl (Strawberries and Cream) would tend to suggest a relatively recent British origin for the story.

Well, I have a volume of his complete works, so I think of that. Of the tales, "The Snow Queen" is the first that springs to mind. But, really, any maudlin story reminds me of Hans Christian Andersen.

Here is and index some of his stories. I could not find what you were referring to but you know his work better than me.
