Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times best seller American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny, a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him."

Story
Challenged to retrieve a fallen star, Tristran Thorn leaves the sleepy English village of Wall and crosses into the land of Faerie and the realm of Stormhold. Locating the star, he discovers it is no meteorite but a young woman, Yvaine. When Yvaine evades him and escapes, Tristran discovers he is not the only one in pursuit of the star: there are dark forces in this magical land, and he must find Yvaine before she falls into their clutches.

A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Publisher's Summary
Paterson Joseph stars as the Marquis de Carabas in this brand-new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's spin-off short story, set in the magical world of Neverwhere.
Returning us to London Below, this enchanting tale continues the story of one of the most colourful characters from Neverwhere - the cool, charming, resourceful Marquis de Carabas, who trades in favours and always has a plan....
The Marquis' coat is a thing of wonder and beauty. Sleek, stylish and 'the colour of a wet street at midnight', it has numerous pockets, sumptuous sleeves and the power to transform a young sneak thief into a nobleman. And now it is missing, sold by the Sewer Folk. To reclaim it, the Marquis must venture into one of the most terrifying parts of the subterranean city, encounter an old enemy, face dreadful dangers and - worst of all - accept help from someone very close to home.
Expanded and dramatised for Radio 4 by the award-winning Dirk Maggs (Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and codirected by Dirk Maggs and Heather Larmour, this spine-tingling production features a star cast including Adrian Lester, Don Warrington and Bernard Cribbins. Contains 15 minutes of additional unbroadcast material. Duration: 60 mins approx.

Some say I sound like my younger self!
If you could sum up Neil Gaiman's How the Marquis Got His Coat Back in three words, what would they be?
Marquis de Carabas... wait, that's probably not very descriptive! How the Marquis Got His Coat Back is another radio dramatization set in the Neverwhere universe. It adapts the short story of the same name and continues our adventures in London Below as our favorite sarcastic rogue goes after his most prized possession - his truly remarkable coat which he lost during the events of Neverwhere. Given the Marquis is arguably the best character in Neverwhere (fight me), it's enjoyable to follow him. BBC Radio's Neverwhere and Good Omens adaptations are a blast and this one has all the charm of its predecessors.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Isn't it obvious?
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
PATERSON JOSEPH FROM THE TV MINI-SERIES REPRISES HIS ROLE AS THE MARQUIS. Honestly, do I have to say anything else?
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
You should've heard the sound I made when the Marquis says, "Some say I sound like my younger self!"
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed BBC Radio's dramatization of Neverwhere a couple years ago. It had a stellar cast and was an engaging adaptation. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed David Harewood but Paterson Joseph has always been the Marquis to me and it was so great to hear his voice!

The Coat Really Does Make the Marquis
Before we get The Seven Sisters, the novel-length sequel to Neverwhere, Paterson Joseph and Company take us back on this whip-snap return to London Below. Yes, it's a very brief tour, clocking in at just about an hour. However, for a tasty little side-adventure featuring everyone's favorite Marquis, it''s as good as sipping Atlantean wine.
The Marquis de Carabas is feeling a little bit at a loss after the events of Neverwhere because he doesn't have his wonderful coat, so he sets upon a quest to get it back. Upon his way he meets the mushroom people, the Elephant, some terrifying shepherds, and a long lost relative. Well, maybe not so lost. That last I found a bit odd, but it mostly worked out to be fun in the end.
Paterson Joseph, who played the Marquis in the original TV miniseries, returns as the titular character. I was somewhat skeptical about this, because David Harewood's portrayal of de Carabas in the Neverwhere radioplay (with James McAvoy, Christopher Lee, Benedict Cumberbatch, etc.) was so excellent. But I needn't have worried. Joseph is having so much fun, it's impossible for us not to. He even gets to make some cracks about the Marquis looking like his younger self.
Truth be told, I listened to this story in the Rogues anthology (narrated by Roy Dotrice), and I thought there were some wonderful little tweaks in this version that really let it shine. For example, Richard Mayhew has a brief appearance which helps frame the story, and Old Bailey does a good job of setting up the stakes. Also, the Marquis sounds like himself, and doesn't have a French accent. (C'mon, Roy!)
Mainly, I was just thrilled to be able to take another trip to London Below, even if it was an incredibly brief one. It was a fun little excursion, and it definitely has me excited and eager for another trip to meet back up with de Carabas, Richard, Door, and the rest of our friends with the Seven Sisters.

Neverwhere-riffic!
Let me start with explaining that I left this sitting in my library for so long that I forgot it was Neverwhere-related and it took me a good 10 minutes of the story to realize how much of the setting and background I already had stored in my brain. It was kind of a jolt when I went from "Why is this in my library? Well, it's short. I'll just listen and find out." to "OH!"
I heartily recommend reading / listening to Neverwhere immediately prior to listening to this radio play. It's excellent, but you'll probably want the events and characters of the novel fresh in your mind when you experience this fun tangent.
As a stand-alone story, I feel like this 1-hour-long adventure of the Marquis de Carabas has the Gaiman charm. It definitely would leave the listener perplexed if they haven't previously invested time in Neverwhere. As an in-universe bonus episode, it's great.
The cast does exactly what you would expect them to do: bring the story and characters to life. They're wonderful.
I would be hard-pressed to suggest spending a credit on a title that only lasts an hour. I picked it up when it was on a rare sale. If you have credits to burn, definitely consider this title.
I categorize this story as Experience-Neverwhere-first-and-hopefully-recently-then-enjoy-it-like-a-dessert.

Short but sweet
another wild adventure with the marquis in the other London of Neil Gaiman's fantastic imagination. a great addition to Neverwere, sadly short but full of the "Real meanings of London place names" .
Neil Gaiman books are always mad and off in a marvellous tangent to world's that are just a blur in the edge of your vision, it's there but you just can't find it with out his help.

not worth the cost of the credit
I enjoyed the original Neverwhere book once I got into it but I feel that this spin off should have been added to the back of it. I would certainly not have paid the full book price for it in a book shop and I feel that the £7.99 credit cost was not value for money either. sorry.

This is a superb dramatisation of Neil Gaiman's short story, and a sequel to Neverwhere. All the performances are well done, and the story is everything I could wish for. Lovely to meet the Marquis again, and to be in London Below.
Perfect for anyone who's read (or even better - listened to) Neverwhere and want more.

Good short story with an interesting little insight into the Marquis' life.
Would love to read/hear more of his backstory.
If this was a TV show or movie, Johnny Depp would make a fine Marquis with his unique mannerisms.

Nice spinoff from Neverwhere
Nice short story. Good performances from the cast. What happened to Mushroom boy after the Marquis got his coat back?

Continues the Neverwhere tradition
Really enjoyed this short story in the Neverwhere universe. It has a twisty, layered plot and fleshes out more about the Marquis and his bavkground immediately after Neverwhere (make sure you listen to that first). A whole host of enjoyable new characters and peoples are introduced.

Disappointing
Neverwhere is still a perennial favourite, was hoping this would match it. It doesn't. Move along.
