Summary
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.

Excellent Writer
I'm new to the worlds of Neil Gaiman. This is the second one of his I've read in succession. What a writer!

Superb
I love the mythical world that Neil Gaiman can make. The use of language, the imagery, humour all utterly superb.

Eee by eckers like, another wee belter.
London below, the Marquis, written and narrated by Neil Gaiman, what's not to like.
Just another corker of a short story. Another one like Neverwhere would be great anything soon hint hint

short but sweet
I loved neverwhere and enjoyed this short but sweet story. However it has been a while since I read nevertheless so I am not sure how this fits into the story.

Some more of the Marquis…
It’s nice to have a little bit of closure into what happened to the Marquis after Neverwhere - I felt so bad for him when he died and lost all his things, but sounds like he just wanted his coat back. No mention of Door or Richard though, so I assume they found each other and have their own tale.

Excellent
Really enjoyed this short novella. Neverwhere is one of my all time favourite books and this story is all about what happened to the Marquis in between events in the book. I’m so pleased the author wrote this as a separate story. The Marquis definitely deserves his own book. Recommended.

Brilliant short story
I listened to this after listening to Neverwhere and was happy to be back in the world of London below. Gaiman's narration is 10/10, thoroughly enjoyed it.

An absolute joy!
The Marquis de Carabass has only recently recovered from a relatively terminal case of death.
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!

Marvellous storytelling
This is such a wonderfully written book and offers closure after reading Neverwhere. I am delighted that the Marquis got his coat back! I was very invested in that part of the story from Neverwhere and I love when authors go back and close these literary doors. It does contain spoilers for Neverwhere however so I would consider reading that first before this.
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.
