The setting of the story told in The Moon Is Down is a small, unnamed European town during an on-going war. By not putting a name on the town and not placing the story within a specific time frame, Steinbeck has created a story that is both universal and timeless. Thus, his important work is not limited by space or time and can continue to serve a purpose anywhere.
