You won't get as much as you could out of this little story if you haven't read the other two books first (Sorcery and Cecilia and The Grand Tour). This delayed follow-up is written in the same way, as correspondence between two old friends, so it may take you a few minutes to catch on, but the letters are so lively that you quickly get to know, and like, both of the writers. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books, and was delighted to drop back into their world again. I recommend that you get all three, and indulge yourself . You will have fun!
Ten years after their grand wedding tour (and the concurrent unraveling of an imperial magical contretemps), Thomas and Kate (the Marquess and Marchioness of Schofield) are living quietly on their country estate outside of London, still very happily married and now the parents of two sons. Cecy and James, who shared in the Continental adventure, are similarly shrouded in connubial bliss. The Tarletons have set up their home at Tangleford Hall in Kent. Blessed with four children of their own, Cecy and James also find their days nicely filled. But it seems that magic and intrigue are not ready to leave these two couples behind, not by a long shot.
The Duke of Wellington, now the Prime Minister, has charged James (who was, as you may remember, 'Old Hookey's' ADC during the fuss with Napoleon) with a delicate mission in the north. It seems a Prussian railway surveyor/magician, one Herr Magus Franz Wilhelm Schellen, has managed to go missing while surveying railway lines in the countryside around Leeds. As his disappearance occurred some six months ago, the Prussians are becoming quite shirty about it. The Duke would like James and Cecy to make some discreet inquiries into the matter. Of course they must go, but it is equally plain that they cannot take four small children with them. The solutions is for James and Cecy to send their brood to Thomas and Kate.
While Cecy and James are gadding about the north searching for their missing Prussian and investigating a tangle of magical ley lines and railway politics, Kate and Thomas are having a few adventures of their own. Kate's spoiled younger sister Georgina, now Her Grace, the Duchess of Waltham, has shown up and made herself at home - with no explanation given for separating from her husband or the even more unbelievable fact that she is missing the London Season to rusticate at Skeynes with Kate and Thomas. With six children in the nursery (at least two of whom are beginning to show a precocious talent for magic) and Georgy moping about the place, Kate and Thomas have their hands full. When an unknown villain makes off with their eldest son, the couple rescues him and a young girl - the stoic and dignified Drina, who refuses to say a single word about where she was abducted from or why. Then there's the matter of a very strong magician poking at the magical wards around Skeynes and attempting to find a way into the Schofield home. It's enough to make one wonder what in the world is going on in the Realm!
I am a huge fan of this historical/fantasy/mystery trilogy by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer. Like the novel that originally introduced readers to Kate and Cecy (Sorcery and Cecelia), The Mislaid Magician is composed entirely of letters. Now, however, we also get to hear from Thomas and James, as well as Kate and Cecy. All three of these novels (the second was The Grand Tour) are utterly charming with sweet, funny, feisty characters and fascinating mystery plots. The Regency details, especially the manners and mannerisms, contribute a goof deal to the overall stories, as does the wonderful, witty writing of the two authors.
The ten years of the title is the time that has passed since Kate and Cecy and their new husbands had their grand tour. James and Thomas are major landholders who undertake investigations for the Duke of Wellington (now the Prime Minister) on the side. One of these investigations concerns a missing railroad surveyer who is also a wizard. James and Cecy go north to Leeds, leaving their four children with Kate and Thomas and their two. Cecy and James' oldest, the nine-year-old twins Arthur and Eleanor, are showing signs of the cousins' magical and mischievous abilities as is Edward, Kate and Thomas' oldest. Luckily, as it turns out.
Kate's sister Georgy, now a duchess, their aunts Elizabeth and Charlotte and Cecy's magical tutor from the first book all become involved, as do a brother and sister pair of what Aunt Charlotte refers to as "encroaching mushrooms" (nouveau riche) who have inherited a somewhat sinister tower from a great uncle. All is eventually made clear, and the good are suitably rewarded, the bad suitably punished.
The story is told in letters - the majority between Cecy and Kate as in the first book, but James and Thomas catch the correspondence bug as well with Thomas looking up references .and people for James. I think the authors overstepped themselves somewhat in the number of plot threads they were balancing (and tangling) and one, at least, pushed the suspension of disbelief a little too far for this reader. I also found the repetition of the authors' family photo albums in all three books pointless and annoying.
Our two sets of couples are happily married with kids ten years after their adventuresome honeymoon trip in Grand Tour. This book becomes quite complicated after Wellington, now Prime Minister, asks James and Cecelia to travel north to investigate a missing German Wizard who was surveying a railroad expansion. While this doesn't sound exciting, it soon becomes quite intriguing. Ley lines, missing children, bad poetry, and a rampaging Aunt Charlotte cause chaos along with the usual magical problems. Very good. I wish there was another as at the end a new job for Thomas leaves a good opening. A fun series.
What a delightful book this is! I like it the best of the three Cecelia/Kate stories. (It would be even better with some old-fashioned pen-and-ink illustrations, like the original ones from the Nesbit books.) While the plot is a little slow to get under way, once things start happening they move right along, with some very funny developments. Like its predecessors, The Mislaid Magician was written in alternating sections by the two authors, and I can just imagine each writer laughing out loud at what the other one came up with to continue the story. This volume adds letters from the two husbands as well as the two wives. Thomas's perspective is a nice addition to the mix, but James is not so well defined.
I would love to read more magical adventures of the next generation! They can surely be of service to their Queen as the 19th century proceeds.
