Publisher's summary

Beneath the streets of London there is another London. A subterranean labyrinth of sewers and abandoned tube stations. A somewhere that is Neverwhere.... An act of kindness sees Richard Mayhew catapulted from his ordinary life into the strange world of London Below. There he meets the Earl of Earl's Court, faces a life-threatening ordeal at the hands of the Black Friars, comes face to face with the Great Beast of London, and encounters an Angel. Called Islington. Accompanied by the mysterious Door and her companions, the Marquis de Carabas and the bodyguard Hunter, Richard embarks on an extraordinary quest to escape from the fiendish assassins Croup and Vandemar and to discover who ordered them to murder her family - all the while trying to get back to his old life in London Above. Adapted for radio by the award-winning Dirk Maggs, this captivating dramatisation features a stellar cast including David Harewood, Sophie Okonedo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Christopher Lee, Anthony Head and David Schofield. Contains over 25 minutes of additional unbroadcast material, including extended scenes, bloopers and outtakes.

Cast was amazing. Great performance. Loved.

This was one of the best audio books I have ever listened to. I am a huge Neil Gaiman fan and loved how this cast brought his book to life. James McAvoy was spectacular as Richard.

Enjoyable listen through

I have the book but wanted a jump start and had some audible tokens. Happy I used it here - great adventure.

Will definitely be listening again!

Althoughi haven't read the full book, I absolutely loved the dramatization version. I didn't feel like I missed things or was left confused by not having read the full book. I'm a huge Neil Hainan fan, (and a huge McAvoy fan), and loved every piece of this. I will definitely be listening to again, and keeping my eye out for more just like it!

Great adaptation!

I listened to the Authors read first and then this adapted version with a full cast. This version is excellent! The voice actors are amazing and I really got a lot out of the version. Their performances were spot on with how the story sounded in my head before listening.
I just wish it was longer!

First time Gaiman story

I enjoyed listening to this, it was a nice change from what I’m used to listening to or reading after finishing up grad school. Bonus that listening to it in the car actually made my 13yr old put down his phone. I’ll be searching for more of books on Audible by the author.

Excellent Production!

Loved it! Thoroughly engaging, and the actors played their parts perfectly. For those few people who complained that they couldn't follow it or didn't understand it, they weren't listening. Give it a rewind and listen again! :-)
