Sir Isumbras at the Ford is a fiction story written by D. K. Broster, who is also the co-author of books like CHANTEMERLE, and THE VISION SPLENDID contributed along-with G. W. Taylor.

The unusual presence of a statue of the Virgin, and of Mme. d'Aulnoy's Contes de fées on the second floor this London house, was, naturally, but a consequence of that same series of events which had brought thither their small owner. Seven years before, the only daughter of James Elphinstone of Glenauchtie, a retired official of high standing in the service of John Company, had lost her heart to a young Frenchman, the Marquis René de Flavigny, whom she had met on a visit to Paris.
