Editor's Notes
 
Think you know London? Think again … Neil Gaiman’s modern fantasy classic invites the reader to step sideways into a hidden world of forgotten tube stations, fiefdoms and murder in the dark. This special collector’s edition features a magical introduction by Susanna Clarke, winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction, as well as Gaiman's short story ‘How the Marquis Got His Coat Back’. Artist Chris Malbon’s illustrations – including a double-page spread and full-colour chapter headings – are a maelstrom of the fantastical and the real, bursting with detail and drama. The topsy-turvy binding design has Richard Mayhew falling from one London to the other, while the slipcase is printed with a parallel version of the image, with the Lady Door slipping between worlds. The rebellious younger sibling of American Gods and Anansi Boys, Neverwhere is a dark, dangerous and irresistible fantasy adventure.
