The #1 New York Times bestselling author's ultimate edition of his wildly successful first novel featuring his "preferred text"--and including his new Neverwhere tale, "How the Marquis Got His Coat Back."
Richard Mayhew is a young man with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never dreamed existed. There are people who fall through the cracks, and Richard has become one of them. And he must learn to survive in this city of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels, if he is ever to return to the London that he knew.

"Delightful ... inventively horrific."

All the twist and turns will catch you off guard, it'll excite the reader of course. This book took me on a journey of fantasy and beyond, exceptional and unique, Amazing ...
