"Wonderful fun. Read this delightfully comic book" - Daily Mail

Filmed by the BBC in 2000 as 'Gentleman's Relish' starring Billy Connolly and Sarah Lancashire.
'Kingdom Swann' is a delicious fantasy by one of our most exuberantly imaginative novelists, a comic foray into the sub-world of Victorian and Edwardian pornography and the double standards that marked art and life. Rumbustious and bawdy, it imagines the red-hot reality behind the coy sepia nudes of ninety years ago.

"With enormous relish Gibson presents a memorable and hugely enjoyable portrait of both the man and the world he inhabited - a world in which the double standard abounded." - Daily Mail

Kingdom Swann, Victorian master of the epic nude painting turns to photography and finds himself recording the erotic fantasies of a generation through the eye of the camera.

A disgraceful tale of murky morals and unbridled matrons in a world of Suffragettes, flying machines and the shadow of war.
Art has come to life and all hell is breaking loose...

"As in Daniel Defoeÿs Roxanna, a voyeuristic fascination plays games with high morality" - The Times

 "Gibson has few equals among his contemporaries" - Time Out
