Bluebeard is a wealthy aristocrat, feared and shunned because of his ugly, blue beard. He has been married several times, but no one knows what became of his wives. He is therefore avoided by the local girls. When Bluebeard visits one of his neighbours and asks to marry one of his two daughters, the girls are terrified, and each tries to pass him on to the other. Eventually he talks the younger daughter into visiting him, and after hosting a wonderful banquet, he persuades her to marry him.

He was rich beyond imagination and outwardly gracious, but women shunned him because of his beard, which was unmistakably blue.

This is the classic tale by Charles Perrault, retold masterfully by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch.
