Neverwhere Illustrated Edition

National BestsellerSelected as one of NPRā€™S Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of All TimeThe #1 New York Times bestselling authorā€™s ultimate edition of his wildly successful first novel featuring his ā€œpreferred textā€ā€”and including his special Neverwhere tale, ā€œHow the Marquis Got His Coat Backā€ Published in 1997, Neverwhere heralded the arrival of a major talent and became a touchstone of urban fantasy. Over the years, a number of versions were produced both in the U.S. and the U.K. Now Gaimanā€™s preferred edition of his classic novel reconciles these works and reinstates a number of scenes cut from the original published books.Richard Mayhew is a young London businessman with a good heart whose life is changed forever when he stops to help a bleeding girlā€”an act of kindness that plunges him into a world he never dreamed existed. Slipping through the cracks of reality, Richard lands in Neverwhereā€”a London of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels that exists entirely in a subterranean labyrinth. Neverwhere is home to Door, the mysterious girl Richard helped in the London Above. Here in Neverwhere, Door is a powerful noblewoman who has vowed to find the evil agent of her familyā€™s slaughter and thwart the destruction of this strange underworld kingdom. If Richard is ever to return to his former life and home, he must join Lady Doorā€™s quest to save her worldā€”and may well die trying.Neil Gaiman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty books, and is the recipient of numerous literary honors.
