The tale honors the memory of Zacharias Topelius's son, Rafael, who passed away at a young age, adding depth to the narrative. The poem, which has evolved into a beloved Finnish Christmas carol, serves as a heartfelt backdrop, making the book a touching tribute to love and loss during the holiday season.
