About this listen
A Neverwhere short story from one of the brightest, most brilliant writers of our generation - the Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling author of the award-winning The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
The coat. It was elegant. It was beautiful. It was so close that he could have reached out and touched it.
And it was unquestionably his.

"Gaiman's achievement is to make the fantasy world seem true." (The Times)

The narrative is rich with Gaiman's signature charm and wit, and the audiobook format brings the characters to life with engaging performances. The story is a quick journey—snack-sized, as one reviewer put it¹—that satisfies the listener's appetite for adventure and the peculiar. It's a testament to Gaiman's storytelling prowess, with every sentence painting a vivid picture of the quirky, shadowy corners of London Below.
The world-building is exceptional, with each location and character adding depth to the already vibrant setting. The Marquis' journey is fraught with danger and intrigue, introducing listeners to the Shepherd's of Shepherd's Bush and even a glimpse into the Marquis' family².
Overall, "How the Marquis Got His Coat Back" is a fantastic listen for those who enjoy a blend of urban fantasy and adventure. It's a story that leaves you wanting more, a perfect appetizer until we can once again dive deeper into the world of London Below. The audiobook is a must-listen for Gaiman enthusiasts and a great introduction for newcomers to his work.

On his recovery he finds himself coatless and soon at the mercy of The Elephant (and Castle).
He takes a reasonably direct route through London Below to recover his precious garment - beware The Mushroom and the Shepherds of Shepherds’ Bush... I loved Neverwhere, it is one of my favourite Gaiman tales and this short addition is a delight - the Marquis was such a fabulous character, whom I always pictured as somewhat fringe in nature...and to get some more of his character was a joy!
An absolute joy!

As to Neil Gaiman’s narration; it’s wonderful, eloquent and full of the kind of enthusiasm that you only hear from the writer reading their own words. I hope that Mr Gaiman ventures further into London Below to write more stories.
Marvellous storytelling
