Title: Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Author(s): Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
Release year: 1990
Publisher: Workman Publishing
Why in Database: An unusual case (though not the only one in TD) when a turtle element appears in a book… thanks to the creativity of the polish translator(s) and not the author(s). In the Polish edition, one of the footnotes mentions turtles:
Występowała tam również leciwa niewiasta jako synogarlica, a pościgi samochodów przypominały końcówkę maratonu zaspanych żółwi.
When in english, we dont have any turtles in this fragment! (“maratonu zaspanych żółwi” means “marathon of sleepy turtles”, translators decided to use this phrase as synonym of “done very slowly”)
With a little old lady as the sleuth, and no car chases unless they’re done very slowly.
