"Tähtimantteli: Sikermä" by Joel Lehtonen is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book features a variety of tales that delve into themes of fantasy, adventure, and the human experience, showcasing different characters and their journeys. Among the stories included are those about an unhappy prince and a giant without a heart, hinting at deeper moral lessons and reflections on existence. At the start of the collection, the narrative introduces a celestial angel who visits a suffering person, offering solace and reminiscing about the tales told in childhood. This angel speaks of a story concerning an unhappy prince who, despite having everything, longs for a star from the heavens, leading to a contemplation of happiness and desire. The prose is rich with imagery as it paints an enchanting yet melancholic picture of the prince's life—the beauty surrounding him contrasted with his inner turmoil. The opening sets the stage for a reflective exploration of such desires through the lens of fantastical storytelling, promoting themes of longing and the complexities of contentment.
