Hello Mr. Gaiman! Just wanted to let you know that the reason why I (and maybe others) would never think Miss Spink and Miss Forcible are a couple is because I read Coraline in italian, and I realized only now that the first thing Miss Spink says is they are sisters... Does she says so in the original version? Or is it something the Italian translator/editor/someone added? It's quite frustrating not knowing if what I'm reading is what the author actually meant... Anyway thank you for everything

neil-gaiman:

It’s something that the translator would have added, I’m afraid.

Italians have an excuse.
