Loc: down under re ulan
Oil of Ulan...was a beauty product or skin moisturiser in Australia. Began its life in South Africa as Oil of Olay...1900, I think. It was a pink fluid rather than a cream. And when the product sent to the international market...it was renamed, something that they thought might be more appealing to each homeland.....hence Oil of Ulay (UK and Ireland), Oil of Ulan (Australia) and Oil of Olaz (France, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany).
Name change...around 2000 the company amalgamated the name, and Oil of Ulan and Ulay became Olay globally.
Now I know you guys may not be interested in 'beauty products' but the origin of words always fascinates.....

I have been looking for the last (bonus)one.....
I looked for Gamera the giant, flying turtle-like creature from japanese monster movies...but then you said books, not movies, so thats why I couldn't find him!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles..no sign of them either...
Have this joke about flying turtles though....
Deep within a forest a little turtle began to climb a tree. After
hours of effort he reached the top, jumped into the air waving
his front legs and crashed to the ground.
After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and
fell to the ground. The turtle tried again and again while a
couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts.
Finally, the female bird turned to her mate.
"Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."
Now I'm all out of ideas......maybe you didn't mean stories/novel about turtles, maybe just country/place they are found!!!!
