If you loved how Tree and Leaf draws on ancient myth and fairy tale, you'll be swept away by The Once and Future King, which reimagines the Arthurian legends with wit, poignancy, and a touch of melancholy. You'll find echoes of Tolkien’s mythic storytelling in the journey of Arthur, Merlin, and the knights as they grapple with destiny, morality, and the human condition.
If you were moved by the environmental and nature-centric focus of 'Leaf by Niggle' in Tree and Leaf, The Overstory will draw you into a sweeping tapestry of human lives connected by trees. Powers weaves together multiple narratives, each reflecting on the majesty and mystery of the natural world, much like Tolkien’s celebration of nature’s beauty and fragility.
If you admired the elegant, ornate prose and mythic tone of Tree and Leaf, The Last Unicorn offers a similarly enchanting experience. Beagle’s tale of a unicorn’s quest is suffused with poetic language and haunting imagery, echoing the timeless beauty and philosophical undertones found in Tolkien’s work.
If you relished the way Tree and Leaf uses allegory and fantasy to probe deep questions about art, creation, and existence, The Lathe of Heaven will fascinate you. Le Guin’s tale of George Orr, whose dreams alter reality, offers a profound meditation on power, responsibility, and the limits of human understanding.
If you appreciated the allegorical depth and layered meanings in Tree and Leaf, you’ll find similar joy in The Little Prince. Through the journey of the Prince and his encounters—like the fox and the rose—Saint-Exupéry crafts a story that is both simple and endlessly profound, inviting reflection on innocence, love, and the search for meaning.
