Alice, Wendy & Dorothy, too

Snatched from The CBC:

What would happen if Alice, Wendy and Dorothy met as adults? Alan Moore, Britain's greatest graphic novelist, reveals the story behind his most controversial work yet.

In Lost Girls, Moore and artist, Melinda Gebbie set out to transform pornography, "ordinarily a dull and ugly genre with absolutely no standards", into something potentially artistic as well as arousing.

They revisit the beloved children's storybook heroines Alice (from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland), Wendy Darling and Dorothy Gale as if they were real, grown up and sexually experienced.

"I think every reader can identify with these characters, because they represent our own childhood and the changes that happened to them are similar to those that have happened to us."

These three different ages and types of woman, each with her own secrets encoded in her fairytale youth, meet and share their erotic fantasies at the luxury Hotel Himmelgarten on the Austrian border in 1913.

• Well, I've shared my view before on the subject of erotica (get me), and anything that puts a new slant on it, especially in an elegant, contemporary way (get me, part 2) is ok by me. I'm quite literally jumping up and down on the spot as I want to read this badly - could Alan Moore have written it for me?
