Over the years, a number of versions were produced both in the U.S. and the U.K. Now Gaiman’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 girl—an act of kindness that plunges him into a world he never dreamed existed. Slipping through the cracks of reality, Richard lands in Neverwhere—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 family’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 Door’s quest to save her world—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.

"My all time favorite book is The Alchemist. Even though I'm not religious, and it has religious aspects, that's really not the point."

"Neverwhere is arguably (I often struggle in a war against my own mind) my favorite novel by Neil Gaiman. It is engaging and I dearly love the cast of characters and colorful setting that Gaiman unearths in between all the comings of and goings of the world. "
