Moonscape and The Tree of Dreams represent the shorter end of Mika Waltari’s output, works that sit somewhat outside the grand historical fiction that made his international reputation. They offer a chance to see Waltari working at a different scale, with the compression and focus that short fiction demands.
Both works have been less widely circulated in English translation than his major novels, making them interesting finds for readers who have exhausted the more familiar titles and want to explore further. They form part of the larger collections Moonscape and Other Stories and The Tree of Dreams and Other Stories, which gather additional related material around each central text.
