Kingdom Swann is a novel by Miles Gibson that was first published by Heinemann in 1990. It is a rambunctious satire on the dangerously thin line between art and pornography, fact and fantasy. The protagonist, Kingdom Swann, is a late Victorian painter of classical nudes on an epic scale who, turning to the camera to capture his subjects, finds himself recording the erotic fantasies of a generation. The novel was adapted by David Nobbs as "Gentlemen's Relish" a feature-length drama for BBC TV in 2001 starring Billy Connolly, Sarah Lancashire and Douglas Henshall.
