Book Description

How the Marquis Got His Coat Back is a short fantasy story by Neil Gaiman set in the world of Neverwhere. The tale follows the impeccably dressed and dangerously charming Marquis de Carabas after he is robbed of his distinctive coat—an insult he cannot ignore. What begins as a matter of pride quickly becomes a perilous journey through London Below, filled with clever bargains, hidden threats, and the Marquis’s trademark wit and ruthlessness.
