''[[Sorcery and Cecelia]]'' (or, to give it its full title, ''Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot: Being the Correspondence of Two Young Ladies of Quality Regarding Various Magical Scandals in London and the Country'') is a [[Historical Fantasy]] novel by [[Caroline Stevermer]] and [[Patricia C. Wrede]], set in an [[Alternate History]] version of [[Regency England]] [[Gaslamp Fantasy|with wizards]]. It is an [[Epistolary Novel]], consisting of the letters written by Cecelia to her cousin Kate and Kate's letters to Cecelia.
Kate is in London being overshadowed by her socially adept and flighty younger sister, and becomes entangled in a feud between the mysterious Marquis of Schofield and the even more mysterious Miranda, who is probably a sorceress. Cecelia is initially chagrined to be stuck at home in Essex, but soon finds plenty to occupy herself, some of which turns out to have a bearing on Kate's problems in London.
Line 11:
Stevermer has also written a solo children's novel in the same setting, ''Magic Below Stairs'', set in the Marquis of Schofield's servants' quarters.
