Tapio Riikonen "Kultainen linna: Satuja Suomen lapsille" by Alfred Saukkonen is a collection of children's fairy tales written in the early 20th century. This delightful assembly of stories features various whimsical characters and adventures, with themes often rooted in Finnish folklore. The tales illustrate moral lessons, the importance of good deeds, and sometimes the consequences of bad choices, appealing to both children and adults alike. At the start of the book, the tale of "Jörre onnenpoika" introduces us to a humble family living in a precarious dwelling by the forest's edge. The elderly parent warns his three sons about the significance of an old superstition concerning the good fortune that resides in the treetops. While the eldest brothers dismiss this notion, the youngest, Jörre, faces turmoil when his brothers leave home to seek their fortunes and inadvertently create difficulties for themselves due to jealousy and greed. Jörre, initially perceived as sluggish and unfortunate, ultimately discovers that an encounter with a magical being and a touch of luck can transform his fate, leading him to unexpected wealth and prosperity, thus setting the stage for further adventures in the collection.
