She wondered what he was doing there, who he was and where he would end up. That gave birth to the story of Prince Mio. The bench which the boy sat on can still be found in Stockholm today, marked with a sign saying that “Mio sat here”.
- The title song “Mio min Mio” was written by Bjцrn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson from ABBA.
