Publisher's Summary
Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of: a city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black velvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre.
There's a girl named Door, an Angel called Islington, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, a Beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining.... And Richard, who only wants to go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him below the streets of his native city.
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)

Brilliant novel, amazing performance!
Incredibly inventive book, with lots of unexpected twists! The performance of the book does it full justice, with voices and accents to make each character distinct! Fantastic book, I will definitely be looking for more of these!
