THE EXTRAORDINARY FIRST NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF STORYTELLING

ACCLAIMED BBC RADIO 4 DRAMATISATION WITH ALL-STAR CAST INCLUDING JAMES MCAVOY, NATALIE DORMER, DAVID HAREWOOD, SOPHIE OKONEDO AND BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Under the streets of London lies a world most people could never dream of.

When Richard Mayhew stops to help a girl he finds bleeding in the street, his unremarkable life changes in an instant.

This act of kindness leads him to a place filled with murderers and angels, pale girls in black velvet, a Beast in a labyrinth and an Earl who holds Court in a tube train. It is strangely familiar yet utterly bizarre.

Here is London Below, the city of people who have fallen between the cracks. And for Richard Mayhew, it's just the beginning.

Critic reviews

"Prose that dances and dazzles.... Gaiman describes the indescribable." (Susanna Clarke)

"It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story." (Observer)

"Much too clever to be caught in the net of a single interpretation." (Philip Pullman)

Great listen

It's a great listen and would highly and heartily recommend it for both the young and old alike.

Breathtaking

Neil Gaiman is a genius. How does one's mind conceive a story like this?
I enjoyed this book so much that I was reluctant to finish it - I didn't want to say goodbye to the characters. I think I'm going to listen to this again and again.

Interesting read

Read this book as a teenager and couldn't get through it for some reason. Picked it up again and Gaiman's narration got me hooked. A little soft at times but the story more than makes up for it. Would try listening to it again someday.

Intriguing and satisfying

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is perfect for audio - strong and memorable imagery, fast-paced, enjoyable characters and a satisfying ending.

Master storytelling

Loved it! The author's performance is a perfect accompaniment to the epic adventure quest below.
