A Sexual Odyssey is the definitive anthology of the art of Lynn Paula Russell. It contains insights into virtually every aspect of a unique journey towards self-fulfilment: the curious, but curiously shy, art student becomes a dancer in 'Hair'; the nicely brought up middle class girl from Sussex searches for, and finds she enjoys, bondage and corporal punishment from a 'master' in the metropolis.

These bare facts along with extraordinary experiences, like a spontaneous orgy on the balcony of a grand empty house in Belgravia, form the real life experiences of an artist who then goes on into the dizzying realms of fantasy.

For the first time, we publish Paula Russell's autobiography - and most of her life is more improbable, more literally fantastic, than most of our fantasies

• More than 200 illustrations drawn from the artist's rich experience and, incredibly, even richer fantasy
• Engorged section on the 'Painful Art of Chastisement'
• Erotic strip cartoon: Summer Holiday - a young Edwardian girl's initiation into sex that skips the missionary position
• Other strips include Room Service - a submissive young Lolita is cruelly tortured by a spanking lesbian dominatrix
• Bodyscapes, an ethereal testimony to the enormous scope of Paula Russell's vision

Please Note: Significant sections of this book are graphically sado-masochistic, which many people are likely to find disturbing. However, in most of the scenes in which women are depicted in positions of pain and humiliation, the model is either the artist herself or one of her friends.
