Summary: "Rehti-Jaakko" by Gustav Höcker is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character of Jaakko, a young boy born on a cargo ship along the Thames, who faces a tumultuous childhood marred by tragedy and the harsh realities of life.

He is later taken in by a kindly family, the Drummonds, where he begins to learn how to read and write, providing a foundation for his growth.
